Comments on: Cecil County Exec Wants to Abandon Earleville Boat Ramp to Save $5K; Fate of Park Adjacent to US Dump Uncertain https://ceciltimes.com/2015/09/cecil-county-exec-wants-to-abandon-earleville-boat-ramp-to-save-5k-fate-of-park-adjacent-to-us-dump-uncertain/ News and Views for Cecil County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:21:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Jeannette H https://ceciltimes.com/2015/09/cecil-county-exec-wants-to-abandon-earleville-boat-ramp-to-save-5k-fate-of-park-adjacent-to-us-dump-uncertain/#comment-38083 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 14:18:06 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=4554#comment-38083 Vandyke can’t or won’t get people or mowers down to the boat ramp is hard to imagine. With the trucks and trailers the county owns, it should be a piece of cake to get mowers down to the park. If employees are not happy going down there, guess what, this is a business like any other and our tax dollars pay their wages. Replace them. There are a lot of people out there looking for work that would be happy to accommodate. All we get are excuses for something that is just as important to the south side community as is the Calvert area park Vandyke has been pushing. Sounds to me that Vandyke’s performance should be reviewed and possibly replaced with someone that has the ability and desire to run his department. Where are you Tari Moore? It would be nice if you actually did your job for once.

Our executive and council apropriated $9.5 million that grew to $14 million(million!)for a stick and ball park that will cost ???$$$ to maintain– but not $5 thousand to keep a public boat ramp open that generates revenue. Our leaders have lost their collective minds.

One of our county’s biggest resources is our surrounding waterways. We urinated away a boat load of $ to an out of town bass tournament promoter but can’t keep a public ramp open for our own citizens! SHAKE MY HEAD!

Goats eat everything from grass and weeds to trash. Goat farmers will lease property and either bring the goats in, or keep the goats fenced in the property. The county could look into leasing the property to goat farmers in an effort to maintain the land. Through the money brought in by boaters, and the lease to the goat farmer, the county may find literally no expences are incurred to keep up appearances!
