The Mayor/Town Manager/Assistant Town Manager fought a valiant fight, I remember. But they were likely perceived as merely handling water guns; is it still possible to bring some AK’s to the negotiating table?

And did Cape Charles voters at least cringe when casting their vote for Bennett? In the past, they voted for the developer’s direct and indirect representative fox to guard the hen house, but the Wave was not around and ignorance was a valid excuse. No excuse now. In the end, “people will elect the government they deserve” (Maistre).

Many thanks to George & Dorie for keeping everyone informed of what is really going on in Cape Charles!

Very informative article. Congrats to Dorie for sharing this information. Even though I do not live in Cape Charles proper (glad to be a resident of Oyster), I wonder if these previous obligations associated with these properties were shared and passed on to the new owner(s) of the Marina and the new investor(s) in the Bay Creek golf community before their commitment to the properties. It certainly seems unfair, but par for the course (excuse the pun) for the less fortunate to have to pay for the lack of financial responsibility or mistakes of the more affluent. Certainly, I do not have a dog in this fight, but enjoy the job the Wave and its writers do in sharing local information.

To quote Senator Harry Reid, with the mess created by the cat in “The Cat In the Hat,”
“That is good said the fish. He’s gone away, yes. But your mother will come back. She will find this big mess!”

As Dr. Seuss wrote:
“And this mess is so big,
And so deep and so tall,
We cannot pick it up.
There is no way at all!”

Well, it’s time to clean up the mess. We are not living in a hat and we are not living in Whoville.

Great article. The town would have been wise to spend the money expended on lawyer fees (to give away the old school) to collect Bay Creek’s outstanding obligations. Does Steve Bennett vote on matters regarding Bay Creek? If he does, it would raise the possible impression of a conflict of interest. In his own interest, he would be well advised to abstain on such matters.
