In All Fairness to the WCLCB …

Wednesday I had an interesting conversation with someone affiliated with the Wicomico County dispensary. This individual confirmed that the dispensaries on the north and east sides of Salisbury were closed so that employees could attend Tuesday’s Wicomico County Council meeting. However, this individual was emphatic that employees were not paid for their time while attending the meeting.

Note – this is neither a retraction, nor a correction. As I stated, “If they were paying those dispensary employees in the audience they were (embezzling from the taxpayers of Wicomico County).” As I have no reason to believe that this person lied to me, we can only conclude that they weren’t.

Does this mean that I no longer consider the WCLCB a “corrupt dinosaur”? Of course not! IF the members of the dispensary board stop doling out your tax dollars for their own selfish ends … or IF the the board miraculously becomes good and faithful stewards of YOUR money … then the dispensary may cease to be corrupt. It will remain a dinosaur none the less.
