The only real money we receive from the county goes to police and fire department. You can’t possibly be insinuating that would go away if we were a private gated community.
I question whether or not a private, for-profit corporation can legally have a state-sanctioned official police department. Does OPA receive money for the fire department or does the County provide that money to the independent OPVFD corporation? The Ocean Pines Association requested $1.87 million from the County this year, close to $200,000 more than its fiscal year 2023 total. How much did the County give to Riddle Farms last year, or River Run, etc? You failed to mention the $400,000 for slots money. Marty, you keep bringing up this going-private nonsense from time to time. Interesting discussion but it will not happen. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Joe: Nonsense and you know it! The only real money we receive from the county goes to police and fire department. You can’t possibly be insinuating that would go away if we were a private gated community. Marty |
To cavalierly dismiss the potential loss of $400,000 to save a few bucks on lifeguards is ridiculous.
