GOING UP: HUGE HIKE IN OCEAN CITY BEACH TAG FEES

There will be a significant increase in the fees charged for beach tags in Ocean City in 2011.  Mayor Jay Gillian presented his budget report this week and it reportedly includes a whopping five dollar increase in the cost of seasonal beach tags in Ocean City.  Gillian says the budget totals nearly $67 million dollars, and asks for over $47 million in tax dollars.  Council will take its first crack at the proposed budget next Wednesday.
