WICOMICO COUNTY EXECUTIVE ANNOUNCES 5TH ANNUAL BUDGET ‘PREVIEW’ MEETING


Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr., announced today that he will hold his 5th annual budget preview meeting on Thursday, April 7th beginning at 7:00 P.M. in the Flanders Rooms of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center. As always, the public is invited and encouraged to attend.

“The budget for next year is still evolving,” commented Pollitt, “and I am eager to share the progress thus far with our citizens and solicit constructive ideas on how we might confront the formidable challenges that remain with us. As always, my primary goal and my highest responsibility is the delivery of quality government services at a price our community can afford and support.”

By Charter, Mr. Pollitt will submit his completed budget proposal to the Wicomico County Council on April 19th. The Council may make cuts to the budget but cannot increase spending or move money between accounts.

If Pollitt doesn't eliminate the PIO position and tell Ted Shea to retire, the council should de-fund both positions.

The retirment incentive will take care of LOTS of problems. Not just budgetary, but personell as well. It will also give way for things to be done differently and to think outside of the box, instead of the way things have been done simply because that is how we do it.
