Well, I paid property taxes in St. Mar's for over forty years. I never had a child in the county schools. Perhaps I should get a refund for something I never used, but paid taxes for.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
It appears that the YMCA themselves were going to fund the normal operating costs, after being given a free brand new over $22 Million dollar state of the art building. Well shiat! Who wouldn't want a deal like that? I'd love for someone to build me a new house and I only take care of the normal monthly expenses. This is the worst form of corporate welfare that I've ever seen, regardless if it is a non-profit organization. If this had come to pass, the YMCA would have had absolutely no skin in the game. The delegates did right by St. Mary's County by not sending such an abysmal request to Annapolis.
It was, and still is, a very shitty proposed deal for the residents of St. Mary's County. For an organization headquartered in Chicago Illinois. I'm pretty sure the people of St. Mary's County can, and already does, take care of themselves without spending such a large sum on one project.
This is not a loss for St. Mary's, but an actual win.
Here is the link to their financial statements. They have enough to fund it themselves if they so want to have a presence in St. Mary's.

I see your point. I did have a kid in public schools, with the exception of two years in private. And I haul my own trash to the transfer station.
Yep, their called the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac river! Don't worry about the Bull Sharks, they're rare.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that recalls her stint as county commisioner..
No wonder the Democrats are all for it.
I am assuming next to the pool in Great Mills.
For clarification, I think when they say gym, it's like the high school gymnasium. Basketball court / multi use surface like Leonard Hall
What could possibly go wrong.

Board of Education?
Did you see my other post?

I have been opposed to this project from the beginning. I’ve watched some of the meetings with the commissioners and it just didn’t smell right to me. Unfortunately there has been a very vocal group in favor of this - what’s the saying - the squeaky wheel gets the grease? Hopefully this is permanently derailed as far as government funding is concerned.
I had a similar train of thought.
