Crowd Estimate Formula Needs Some Tweaking

OCEAN CITY – For many years Demoflush has estimated Ocean City’s tourism population but the questionable metric has become even more skewed as more efficient equipment is being installed in homes and in the town’s wastewater treatment plant.

During a discussion over an increase in room tax collected in the last fiscal year at the Mayor and City Council meeting on Monday evening, it was brought to attention that the Demoflush formula has become even more slanted in representing the estimation of population in town due to more efficient equipment being installed at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) over a year ago.

Demoflush figures are estimations on the population in Ocean City based on wastewater flow from Ocean City provided by the Ocean City Wastewater Division and calculated by the resort government’s Tourism Department.

Somebody needs to find a job that Brent can do until his term is up. I doubt he's capable of driving a bus. Maybe butt pickup downtown?

Um,may I suggest that a gallon is the same size as a gallon? Is there some confusion about the "size" of a flush"

Oh, wait, you want more money, and you need to hide it behind the size of a gallon of water.

I get it.

Why don't you just give us a real, understandable reason? Would that not fit your PC agenda?

Do you REALLY THINK WE ARE ALL THAT STUPID?????

Wow, these are our leaders!!! LOL!
