Wicomico Council Votes Against Salary Hike For Orphan’s Court Judges

SALISBURY – Emotions ran high during Wicomico County Council’s legislative session this week as the Orphan’s Court judge’s request for a raise was denied.

Wicomico County Orphan’s Court Chief Judge Norma Lee Barkley and Judges Melissa Bright and William Smith came before the Wicomico County Council to request an endorsement for the first salary increase for their posts in eight years.

Council Administrator Matt Creamer explained the judges first requested a discussion with the council in January but Tuesday evening’s council legislative session, which was postponed to Wednesday due to weather, was the first opportunity for the item to be scheduled.

Bingo! I couldn't have said it better. Sad thing is we don't need people on the Council like Muir Boda, Laura Mitchell, Josh Hastings and Ron Pagano collecting anything from the County. Please run from these people and vote Republican.
