Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Offshore Wind Lawsuit Msg# 1216400

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. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Where do the Maryland Coastal Bays and Assateague Coastal Trust stand on the turbines and new pier? The County Commissioners and Maryland Coastal Bays are at odds. Coastal Bays is taking grants from the wind farm companies. They refuse to oppose the wind farms and say they are neutral on the issue, while at the same time asking the County to support their attempt to obtain millions of dollars to spend as they choose in grants from the state. |
