Jeff, you have convinced me. It would be absolutely foolish for OPA to even try and obtain what could amount over time to a million or more per year to be spent on things contemplated in the bill, like the $1.3 million we spend every year on police, or the $650,000 we contribute for fire protection, like the money we spend on parks and trails..... all things that benefit this entire northern area of the copunty and not just Ocean Pines. 

Route 589 will be improved whether slots come or not; whether OPA receives a 10% share if slots come or not.

I still believe that these fees are going to have to be justified (possibly not for OC and Berlin)... OP will end up looking pretty foolish trying to justify money for the other types of projects that are contemplated by the legislation.

The above is what really convinced me. Why on earth should OPA look foolish along with Ocean City and Berlin. Let's let them look foolish all on their own. We'll show them.
