New Slate Of Worcester Commissioners Sworn In

SNOW HILL – Worcester County’s new commissioners took their seats this week and chose District 6 Commissioner Jim Bunting to serve as their leader.

On Tuesday, Worcester County’s four newly elected commissioners joined three incumbents to be sworn in as Worcester County Commissioners. Afterward, in a closed session, they chose Bunting to replace Commissioner Bud Church as president. Merrill Lockfaw was elected vice president.

“You’re going to have a great leadership team,” Church said as he handed the gavel to Bunting. “I’m glad to get my weekends back.”

Each of the commissioners used their first meeting together as an opportunity to comment on the privilege of serving as a county representative.
