Section 18: Worcester County Subject: Ellis Exit Interview Msg# 135590

| Ah Joe, You are being much too polite when talking politics. I guess that's the best way to stay alive, though. You've got it right about the county commissioners. We in Ocean Pines are stuck with 2 or 1 vote, depending on the issue. The rest of the county resents us and "their" commissioners will never vote for anything in our favor. That is, until one of them needs our votes. You got it right. Wait and see. About Ed Ellis....he was too distracted by his fight to keep the Applebees from opening next to his property. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I was at the Commissioners meeting during Ellis' exit interview. One of his comments was that during his tenure on the Planning Commission he felt the balance of power in the County began shifting from Ocean City to Ocean Pines, or words to that effect. True to a certain extent, but the influence of Ocean Pines on the overall commission will be limited unless commission members have intentions to run for state office. They would then need the votes in Ocean Pines, regardless of their home district. I've heard Bloxom may run for state office, as well as OPA's Stachurski. Ocean City produces tons of tax dollars but has few voters. The power of Ocean Pines could be most evident in the event of any county-wide referendums. If county-wide voting for commissioners had remained in effect there would have been a much more dramatic shift towards Ocean Pines. |
