The Wicomico County Council approved a nearly $143 million budget for the 2018 fiscal year.
The spending plan also provides a small reduction in the property tax and money for the Wicomico County School District to buy some laptop computers.
One thing missing is any funding for a new station for the volunteer fire company that broke away from the Salisbury City Fire Department.
Cory Polidore, chief of the volunteer fire company, told the Salisbury Daily Times that this was “a slap in the face.”
The County Council told the volunteer fire fighters that the money was not in the budget given to them by the County Executive Bob Culver.
The council is only able to make cuts in the budget but cannot add to it.
