Dear elected officials: If you continue killing our business community, who will support the bloated state government roster and all the stuff you give away to garner votes? Will our battered bar benefactors, restricted/repressed restaurants and financially mugged Mom-and-Pops be able to continue the torrid pace of donations to local arts and charities they have so readily and openhandedly provided in recent years? Fortunately, the real estate boom and its attendant transfer taxes have pulled our county and local budgets’ chestnuts from the fire. Is it possible 2021 can continue this trend? If there is, heaven forbid, a pronounced uptick of COVID-19 in Cape’s school system, will Bob and the school board be liable during the next election for decisions to remain open, possibly endangering a large swath of the public? These are questions that occurred as my panel was sampling for this week’s column.
