Or integrity on the part of the commissioners? I don't see the problem with their taking a principled stand on the issue especially when the Coastal Bays is facing a problem directly in their wheelhouse and....folds.
Are the directors/officers of Coastal Bays paid for their services or is it an entiirely volunteer organization? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Everything you said is true, but............. Maryland Coastal Bays Foundation is a relatively small non-profit organization with a little under $3 million in annual revenue. They've been successful in in securing 5-year DNR grants with Worcester County support worth $1 million a year ($5 million over 5 years). That's about 33% of their annual revenue. Take note that 90% of the Foundation's coastal bay programs are in Worcester County (10% is in Chincoteague Bay in Virginia). What you have is Worcester County Commissioners withholding their support of the Foundation's recent $5 million DNR grant request, of which 90% or $4.5 million will benefit Worcester County, as punishment for the Foundation taking $125,000 in US Wind grants and decision of neutrality on the question of offshore wind turbines. Do the math............. $%#$ dumb. |
