SNOW HILL – A two-cent property tax increase proposed by county staff drew immediate criticism from a pair of Worcester County Commissioners this week.
At the start of a budget work session Tuesday, Commissioner Jim Bunting expressed concern about the budget presented by Worcester County staff — which includes a proposed two-cent property tax increase — and asked that the commissioners plan to approve the Worcester County Board of Education’s budget separately from the county’s overall budget.
“I just want to say I was very surprised when I got the work session book,” Bunting said. “There’s things in there I didn’t expect to see. I’m very concerned about it. At the same time I’m very pleased with what the board of education has done with their budget. Not saying that there wont be some changes in it possibly, one way or the other, but at this time, I don’t want to have to vote against the board of education because of what’s in this if it doesn’t change any.”

It's about time the WorCoComms realized who really runs this County...
10:50 AM, Who?
Tax increases are ALWAYS about BOE requests in Worcester County. And those increases are ALWAYS to give the teachers ever higher salaries and benefits (not for student expenses). They are a greedy bunch that already live with a higher means than the rest of the county's citizens, both with and without college degrees. They are overpaid for salaries in the area, and always asking for more. The taxpayers are their deep pockets funding their greed.
Who are the two commissioners? Jim Bunting and who else?
Harold Higgins is top notch. Good administrator and a great person. When your in the heat of trying to settle the budget like this team is, contacting the commissioners about every little thing is probably a hiderance, and takes time.Throw it against the wall and see if it sticks.
I bet the ILLEGALS don't pay $$$$
COOLEST LITTLE TOWN BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN THE USA TO PAY FOR A MULTI MILLION DOG PARK ? LOL .
