COUNTY COUNCIL CONFIRMS APPOINTMENT OF STRAUSBURG AS DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION


Salisbury, MD -- January 12, 2012 The County Council, following County Executive Rick Pollitt’s appointment, on Tuesday unanimously confirmed Mr. R. Wayne Strausburg to the position of Director of Administration left vacant by the retirement of Mr. Theodore Shea back in August 2011.

Council members welcomed Strausburg and expressed that they were looking forward to working with him. Mr. Strausburg is now the chief administrative officer of the county overseeing the administrative functions of the county’s departments and agencies under the authority of the County Executive. He is also primarily responsible for developing the county budget.

“I am deeply honored by Executive Pollitt's appointment and by the County Council's unanimous confirmation of that appointment,” Strausburg said, “I look forward to working with the Executive, the County Council, our county employees and citizens in meeting the challenges that face Wicomico County.”

“Based on his extensive record of service to Wicomico County, his successful career in the business world and his total grasp of the nature of the challenges and opportunities we face in county government, I am more than satisfied that Mr. Strausburg is the right man, at the right time for the right job,” said County Executive Pollitt.

Strausburg resigned from his position as president of the English Company and is expected to begin in his new role in mid-February.

Pollitt is lazy. He needs someone else to help him do his job. PLEASE put this on the next vote so we can get rid of this idiot! The only thing he can build is layers of cost increases!! This man needs to quit before he becomes the new whipping boy in town.
