   Mr. Hogg,
   1. The double taxation on business and citizens is too much to bear in Cape Charles; overtaxing cripples the homeowner and economic development. There has got to be a better way.

   2. Use the power of ‘Eminent Domain” to recapture the Industrial Park and turn it into a rehabilitation facility for our brave men and women in uniform serving our country returning home with injuries. What better place for our wounded with Purple Hearts to heal their wounds in our hunting grounds, fishing, golfing, kayaking, bike trails, their love ones would visit or stay, the top brass from the Pentagon would help in the infrastructure, there are grants that would build the medical building and according to a Medical professor from Yale there would be over a hundred professionals with high incomes to heal the veterans. The Government’s projection is it will take over 30 years to care for our wounded. The present owners received this land as a gift and to date show nothing for it.

   3. As the population increases, more four year colleges will be needed, we have the land let’s put it to some use, a university opened to the world’s brightest.

   4. We have a deep water port, a railroad, a highway, and a airport, by golly put them to some use, like the railroad the way it used to be: Cape Charles, to D.C, to Philly, to N.Y.C. and back (tourists all the way).

   5. Stop sending our tax dollars to Maryland. I hear their Bond Rating has been lowered and we have better banks here in Virginia, so why take a chance of losing our fifty million or more of our tax dollars to another State, there should be an investigation into this practice allowed by our treasurer — was this a favor to certain Bank Board members or what?

   Remember I’m the little guy, who pays his taxes and stays out of trouble. Antonio Sacco.
