Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – May 26, 2023

Of the two Cruisin events – one in the spring and the other in October – the May edition typically brings larger crowds than its fall counterpart.

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – May 19, 2023

As happens every year, the Worcester County Commissioners turned a deficit into a surplus. This year it was an approximately $11 million deficit that became a $400,000 surplus through a series of cuts and revenue increases.

It was refreshing to… Read more »

It has been estimated the county… Read more »

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – April 28, 2023

In recent years, the annual public hearing on Worcester County’s proposed budget has not been as spirited as it traditionally has been. In light of recent comments between the County Commissioners and school system officials, it will be interesting to see if the recent trend of lower turnout holds at this year’s budget public hearing,… Read more »

The Worcester County Commissioners voted 4-3 this week to try and sell the synthetic ice rink – purchased in 2019 for $70,000 – on govdeals.com.

Communication is critical when public school safety incidents arise. By and large, it seems Tuesday’s situation at Stephen Decatur High School was handled much better than other incidents in previous years. A message was reportedly written on a wall inside the school about a shooting to take place at the school on April 12, the… Read more »
