During a budget work session Tuesday, the Worcester County Commissioners made a decision to keep funding to all of the municipalities flat in the coming fiscal year. Instead of the $5 million grant Ocean City was seeking, the resort will receive $3,084,956.
“I don’t think you should flat-fund anybody unless you’re going to flat fund everybody,” Commissioner Ted Elder said.
A committee of county staff proposed funding Ocean City with an additional $200,000 in FY 2016, which would have brought the total grant to $3,284,956.
“It was just put out here for conversation,” said Harold Higgins, the county’s chief administrative officer.

Funny how I recently had a conversation with Commission President Jim Bunting and he said the commissioners were going to race more taxes and some people were going to get a rude awakening!!
If you was a county employee I would be all over Jim Bunting and those commissioners. Their plan is to balance their budget on the backs of their employees. Fair warning!
