Bozman? BOZMAN?????????
what does F-o-o-l spell?
Who is the governing body, council or executive? Why does it say it is effective 2005? And why would a user fee be so bad if the revenue goes back into the Civic Center?
Didn't see Worcester County. What is their rate?
anonymous 5:32, Really, Seriously? This is about the Civic Center in Wicomico County and you now want me to sit here and research Worcester County. Come on now. Learn to use Google and look it up yourself.
Well now - 'your sins will find you out'
Notice - that Norman Conway won't sponsor any controversial legislation during an election year. But you can bet you _SS as soon as he is re-elected he'll be up the same tax and spend as he did during his previous years. When will the public wake-up and this man for what he is. He has fed at the public trought for so long - he doesn't know how stimulate an economy.
I just do not understand why the people keep putting this man back in. Look at the damage he has inflicted on this community. He picks your pocket and then says he is doing you a favor.
Thought I read our local impresario at the Civic Center treated himself to upscale wheels as his 'company car' not so long ago. Mebbe he needs new spinnin' rims and fresh rubber to keep himself in the style he's become accustomed to.
Guess they must be bagging so much cash there the county can cut the subsidy to zero.
CON-way. The name says it all.
I'm sure the local Hotel/Motel establishments like this legislator - (pun intended). He is their worst enemy.
I would certainly like to meet your reporting staff. I swear, this has to be the best news media around. Joe - even FOX hasn't got anything better than Salisbury News. Megan Kelly, Bill O'Reilly, Gretta Van Sustern, none of them rival Salisbury News.
5:32 - Go to the Maryland General Assembly website and click onto the bill's fiscal note - and it should give you all of the pertinent details.
IMHO - passage of this bill passed onto Wicomico residents undue hardship by greatly expanding Wicomico's taxing powers on even ticket sales.
You know something, I am starting to believe that N. Conway is going to lose this election. Seriously, I cannot bring myself to believe that the public will support this man this time round.
I think everybody in the county should just pay 100% tax and let the County pay our food and mortgages and utility bills. If they screw up on anything and fail to give us enough food, gas, cars, and pool toys, we get to shoot them!
OK?
What is your point? This was introduced in 2005 and Bennett Bozman is dead.
Responding to 9:51 Posting - I think everybody in the county should just pay 100% tax and let the County pay for our food and mortgages . . .
Don't laugh - I'm starting to think so to.
I'd like to know what Mackes has on everyone that he gets all these perks and special treatment.
wtg mr. mackes
Good, If people want to go to events at the Civic Center let them pay to maintain it. Why should my taxes go up to pay for events at a place I don't go to. It is called a user fee. There should be more of them.
