On Saturday, Ocean Pines Association (OPA) General Manager Bob Thompson hosted a public hearing on the coming year’s proposed $11 million budget. When it came to questions from the residents in attendance, the $55,000 food truck came up again and again.
“We’ve been taking bullets about this all week,” Thompson said.
Though he didn’t include it in his main presentation to the public, upon being asked he explained that he’d proposed purchasing a food truck to operate primarily at the Yacht Club. The idea, he said, was in response to the news from the Worcester County Health Department that the facility could no longer offer the “grab and go” food they’d been making on the Yacht Club’s outdoor grill.
“The only way we’re allowed to do it is if we build a permanent station,” Thompson said.

Ocean Pines politics are as dirty as it gets. 95% of the population pays out the wazoo to subsidize hobbies for the 5% who have the most money and the developers get whatever cherry deals they want.
