The beaches which are part of the NSS were at one time all town beaches. The Feds made promises to the towns which they naturally broke after they towns allowed the NSS to be formed.

I would venture to say that the NSS generates a lot more money than it spends. It just funnels the money to DC to be wasted as the pols see fit.

The smart towns (Orleans and Chatham) continue to manage their own beaches and do a hell of a lot better job with only a fraction of the NSS staff. Of course they don't close any of their roads to let toads cross in safety ... but hell you can't have everything!

Interestingly enough they haven't sold any more permits than they did last year in the same number of days ... its just more of a panic now.
