In the ongoing dispute over fire and EMS service Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver has some questions about any agreement with the city of Salisbury.
Mayor Jim Ireton has threatened to cut off city fire and EMS service to surrounding county areas by July 1st if city taxpayers are not given some form of tax relief for those services.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that many of the questions center on funding mechanisms.
The two sides are to meet on April 28th to discuss the issue.
Ireton contends that the city fire and EMS service responds to far more calls than it is paid for amounting to $2.2 million.
Culver initially said that while he agreed with the Mayor over the tax differential issue he was not certain the July 1st deadline could be met.
