Wicomico County Tiering Meeting

I just got wind of a meeting of which every property owner (or anyone who intends to someday be a property owner) in Wicomico County should be aware and plan to attend. What is most disappointing to me is that the format is reportedly structured to exclude active participation on the part of interested and concerned citizens. The recommendations that emanate from these meetings will be used to guide decisions made at the council and executive levels which will have long-lasting and potentially drastic effects on property rights, and the consequent ability to enjoy the use of, and derive future value from, everyone’s real property within the county. The meeting is to take place over two days and is scheduled for this Tuesday and Wednesday (October 15 and 16) at the Civic Center in the Midway Room. County Executive, Rick Pollitt, has authorized a hand-selected committee to meet to discuss the land use tiering of Wicomico county from 5PM to 9 PM both days. The tiering is a planning tool pushed on us as a part of the controversial “Septic Bill” (SB236). Every citizen who values having some advanced knowledge of and influence on what our planners have in store for us should be at this meeting. Don’t say you weren’t warned. See you at the meeting.

makes sense to have a panel, 1000 people have 1000 opinions. Nothing would ever get done without having efficencies like panels. No news here, just more bitching and moaning from the minions.

So do you make all the comments if they agree with your post? Why would you think someone who disagrees with you has to be Rick? There are plenty of us out here who agree that you have to have a panel. OMG, a "hand selected" group? What is this world coming to?
