SNOW HILL– The Worcester County Commissioners opted to waive their scheduled salary increase for the coming four years.
The commissioners voted 6-0, with Commissioner Joe Mitrecic absent, to waive the 1.5 percent cost of living increase they were set to receive for the 2018-2022 term.
“All of us felt it was not necessary,” Commissioner Jim Bunting said.
The commissioners’ salary of $25,000 each per year was established by resolution in 2005. According to that resolution, each commissioner’s salary is set to increase automatically each four years based on the cost of living increase given to county employees during the prior four-year term. Prior to their 2010-2014 term, the commissioners opted to waive the scheduled salary increase of 12.5 percent, according to Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Kelly Shannahan, so their salaries remained $25,000.

Dumb asses! That's why they can't get decent people to run for County Commissioner because it pays chicken feed. They haven't had a pay increase in 12 years and that is rediculous!
It is called Conservatism, our form of Government was never intended to be a career, that is a anti American leftist concept.
