Pollitt’s Budget Aims To Address County Infrastructure

SALISBURY – Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt proposed a $52 million capital budget along with a five-year Capital Improvement Plan last week that the County Council will begin reviewing early next year.

Last Tuesday Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt submitted his proposed capital budget for the fiscal year 2015 (FY15) beginning July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015 and a proposed capital spending program for fiscal years 2015-2019 to the County Council.


“You have heard me say a number of times Wicomico County, particularly in the most recent years, has not done a good job in taking care of what I call our ‘stuff’, or when it comes to investing county funds in our infrastructure,” Pollitt began. “Wicomico County has needs across the board particularly in our schools, but also in our roads, public buildings and the things we want to do with the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan. We put together a budget for FY15 that is affordable, and a way I would describe as aspirational.”

9:21am You are the stupid one. I see Rick as a stable caring person. No, I don't always agree with him, but overall his is doing a good job for the county. And, he has to put up with people like you and the likes of some on the council, too.
