I understand that our Mayor has just returned from Greece. Hopefully she was able to see first hand what happens when a government spends more than it can afford. We don’t want Cape Charles to become another Greece! NO ONE WILL BAIL US OUT! You can make a difference. Please listen to the people and remember, ” Den afxisi ton foron!” ( NO NEW TAXES!)

If I were part of the Town Council I would think….well only 6 people showed up and they always complain about spending so they are statistically insignificant, the rest of the Town doesn’t seem to care so why not go ahead and get some more money to spend.

First I would like to say thank you to the citizens that took time from their busy lives to come to the meeting and voice their disdain regarding tax and sewer rate hikes.

One question burning in my mind: Where were all the people that screamed and carried on about how their taxes would go up if there was a community center? Well folks, your taxes are going up and we don’t have a community center! Every one of the people that came in June & August got PLAYED BY PROFESSIONALS!

We are being financially driven into the ground by a group of people more interested in turning our sleepy little town into a tourist trap, than caring about the people that actually live here.

The people sitting at the “big table” last night are only waiting till Monday to vote so that it will look like they were actually thinking about what was said during the citizens’ comments. Anyone want to take bets that they will raise the taxes and the sewer bills regardless of what was said to them in the meeting?

I can hardly wait for the next election and pray that if any of those people sitting at that table last night run for another term they LOSE, and we finally get some people on the Town Council that care more about the people that live here and worry less about attracting more tourists to fill their pockets with greasy money! What we need is a new Mayor and more people on Town Council that actually listen to the people. THEN WE CLEAN HOUSE IN THE TOWN OFFICE!
