For Worcester County Commissioners, Question Is: How Much To Increase Taxes?

SNOW HILL – In an effort to balance the coming year’s budget, the Worcester County Commissioners are considering as much as a 14-cent property tax increase.

Commissioners are expected to decide next week during a budget session whether to advertise for a potential property tax increase of 6.7 cents or an increase of 14.4 cents. According to county staff, it would take a 6.7-cent increase to fund a budget in line with that of the current year while it would take a 14.4-cent hike to fund all of the budget requests for FY 2016.

“If we set it at six cents, everybody’s going to know we’re cutting eight cents somewhere,” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said. “Once we advertise this we can’t go to eight [cents] or nine [cents]. We’re stuck at six.”

    They will go with the lower estimate. AFAIK the Worcester County Commissioners have never funded all the budget requests. That's just a wish list and they have been pretty good at cutting out the frivolous requests.

    keep the budget as is no new expenses, raises, etc. that makes the decisions much easier and helps the taxpayer.

    Worcester County is one of the least expensive places to live in Maryland. Their property taxes are below both neighboring Somerset and Wicomico. Worcester has better schools too. And the income tax rate is only 6% versus 8% for Somerset and Wicomico.

    “If we set it at six cents, everybody’s going to know we’re CUTTING (emphasis added) eight cents somewhere,” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said...”

    Typical talking points of a tax and spend liberal. Can't believe the idiots in OC voted this guy in. Useless when on the OC town council and will obviously be useless as a County Commissioner.
