You replied, "Joe, 'Show me the money'."

Ray, it is truly unfortunate that some board members continue to be uninformed. If you were informed you would know that OPA has already received nearly $17,000 for its January cut of the slots impact funds. The money is in OPA's bank account, received via direct deposit from the Racing Commission. Another $17,000 is on the way for February.

Your negativity from the beginning about OPA receiving a direct share of the impact funds is no secret. You, like the rest of the board a few years ago, did not want OPA to directly receive a fixed percentage of the funds. One of your favorite and most repeated comments of the time was something to the effect that worrying about impact funds was not a priority since it would be "years" before OPA received any money.

Seems to me you are still upset the legislature did what was right for the people of Ocean Pines, in spite of the best efforts of the Board of Directors to have all the impact funds go to the County. Do you need a link to the video where you and the rest of the board at the time decided to support a pitch by Judy Boggs to have all the money go to the county?
