WICOMICO'S COUNTY'S LIBERAL SOCIALIST AGENDA

For 150 years, WICOMICO COUNTY has historically elected a majority of Democrat County Councils with a smattering of Republicans and an occasional Independent. But even with Democrats primarily in control for a large part of a hundred and twenty five years, WICOMICO remained rather conservative largely due to the rural nature of the County. But the tide began to turn before the end of the of the last century. Some people thought that WICOMICO COUNTY should be more like some of the counties across the Bay. The push was on to grow government.
With the help and support of two left wing liberal organizations, THE GREATER SALISBURY COMMITTEE and THE SALISBURY CHAMBER OF COMMERICE, a charter review committee was initiated and a referendum ballot was forwarded to change the WICOMICO COUNTY charter to a Executive form of government. As with most ballot questions, unless there is a lot of opposition, it passed. This greatly increased the cost of government to the citizens of WICOMICO COUNTY beyond most citizens' expectations.

The first election held under this new form of government produced the County's first County Executive, RICHARD M POLLITT. Pollitt's first task at hand was to rid the County of the evil Revenue Cap that had been imposed by the taxpayers in the early 1990's. Then the local liberal appointed BOARD OF EDUCATION pushed the County Council to almost double the property taxes. Fortunately in 2006, and 2010 the taxpayers were at least wise enough to elect somewhat of an conservative County Council to hold off any attempt of a reversal without a referendum, which never happened.
