Salisbury, MD … One of the most important constitutional rights in this country is the right to vote. It is a duty of the County to see that this right is protected.
The State of Maryland changed the type of voting machines to a paper ballot system and with that change a secure climate controlled environment for storage of both the machines and ballots is required.
Two years ago, the Library approached the County to request funding for a start-up Entrepreneur Center on the lower floor that had been vacated by the Regional Library. This use is not central to the operation of a Library. The Council approved funding for a year to see if there was a permanent need. The next year requested funding was not approved since Salisbury University now has an Entrepreneur Center.
Executive Culver’s request was to utilize a portion of the lower level space until there is a permanent solution for housing the Board of Elections. In that regard, the County’s Capital Improvement Plan includes $1.1 million for the Board of Elections project.
The Executive believes that utilizing space that the County already owns rent-free is a financially sound decision and in no way interferes with the operation of the Library or the Wor-Wic Continuing Education Center.
It is the hope of Executive Culver that this better explains the misinformation that the Library Board sent out in an email blast this morning.

How about a Welfare SNAP card return box so when trump wins they can return there SNAP cards in. ?
I'm not a culver can, but good idea Bobby.
Although I agree that using already owned County space is a good idea, If Downtown wants to "Revitalize", then the space needs to remain Entrepreneurial space, not storage space.
Look elsewhere, Bob, maybe that room at SU? Or Wor Wic? Keep downtown revitalization (cough, cough) going.
Put them over at the NAACP headquarters.
What about on long Ave at the old Boand of ed office?
Ur missing the point
The way I see is it's a county run building so the county can do whatever they want with the building. From what I hear that woman that runs the library isn't very nice. It's all about her.
Culver has Zero power in the library.
County owns the building
