Let me say this boldly: outsiders are coming in and have come in and have taken control of the functions of the town and have plans for development that will affect certain people living in certain areas of the town.

Question: What happens to the people who can’t pay their tax or insurance increases beceause they have no or limited income; where are the jobs? The people making these new laws and planning for the developement of the town — where do or did they get their money?

Basketball courts and parks are good to have, but what about the redevelopment issues in areas of the town affected by little or no employment? What about computer education? The decision makers who feel that they have the power to buy or sell any property belonging to the town without going through proper precedures or finding out from ALL the citizens of the town should be strongly challenged and/or investigated to see if there’s another interest involved.

Last but not least, Old School issues: It appears that there’s more interest in the school in town than the one “over the Hump” and the plans for it. I’ve read and have talked to certain people, and I still see the same old thing still going on, but with new faces.

The Sleeping Giant will awake, Town of Cape Charles. This town has great potential. If it makes a stronger and more determined effort to get ALL of its citizens involved in meeting their needs, then the Town of Cape Charles would have great results in its development.
