There are two new members on the Wicomico County Board of Education.
Governor Larry Hogan appointed John Palmer and Joseph Ollinger to take over the seats of former members Marvin Blye and Larry Dodd.
The board’s vice president Donald Fitzgerald has been reappointed.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that both Palmer and Ollinger are strong backers of the property tax revenue cap limiting the rates residents have to pay.
In addition, Ollinger lost his bid as a Republican candidate for County Executive against Rick Pollitt by 3 percent.
The paper also reports that Palmer has suggested that parts of the education budget should be subject to a public vote similar to Delaware.
