The population of Worcester County is 53,132 plus or minus. $15,160,000 means $285.33 spent for each resident and that doesn't include substantial local funds spent on this boondoggle so the total is closer to $500 per resident or $2,000 per family of four persons.

I realize this cost has to be amortized over several years but one must consider maintenance and depreciation. How much benefit does your family realize from this?

New Library? Where did that idea come from? What's wrong with the old one? Surely the demand is not there. I mean, the population of Pocomoke has not increased significantly and there is a MUCH LOWER demand for books because everyone is online now. Did Worcester County suddenly have a rich uncle pass away?
