Wicomico Agrees To Pay $25K Fee To Join Coalition

SALISBURY – The Wicomico County Council reached an agreement last week to move forward with a recommendation to become a member of the Clean Chesapeake Coalition.

Upon County Executive Rick Pollitt’s request, last Tuesday morning the Wicomico County Council sat down with Ernie Crofoot and Chip McLeod of the Clean Chesapeake Coalition. The council was in consensus to pay the annual $25,000 annual Clean Chesapeake Coalition membership fee to join the organization and support its efforts.


According to Director of Administration Wayne Strausburg, the Clean Chesapeake Coalition features counties working together to strengthen the collective voice of the counties in Annapolis and on a federal level. The objective is to pursue improvements to the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay. Current county members include Allegany, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Dorchester, Frederick and Kent.

Double dipping taxes. We are already paying numerous taxes for this. Who is related to who, that got this paid.

Bribes, kickbacks, payoffs, and paybacks. Even at the country bumpkin level, our "representatives" are scarfing up the cash like they are bobbing for apples. And having just as much fun! $25,000!!? To join an organization that will promote laws, regulations, fees, and fines that will hardly benefit anyone on the Eastern Shore -- except the ones getting the $25,000.
Keep cheering. "Your guy" is REALLY making a difference.....

My thoughts exactly. Did big Ricky ask us for this new spending?

Hey, Rich, why not spend the 25k to clear flood ditches so we'll not need a "study"?
