I agree that an explanation of the 1/2 mile thing was not clear at all. It seems to me what he said had to do with resources, so they seem to be blaming it on lack of resources, so they let the closures close the beaches all the way down to that 1/2 mile total before opening something else. That is their reasoning?
Well I don't buy it for one bit. Seems to me that not long ago they operated just fine on $65 yearly permit fees, now at $150 a few years later, that isn't even close to inflationary increases
so what gives here? They raised the price maybe because of supply and demand, then found the solution to the mass panic trying to buy a permit before they sold out on the first day, and now the price remains the same and their resources are still stretched
That extra income should be plenty, and should have added a air station at Coast Guard in Truro if you ask me.
I guess the proposal is better than nothing, maybe it's a step in the right direction but I did not feel that good about the future after that meeting. Atleast they are doing something.
Rich, thanks for all your efforts and comments, you too Sweetwater
I'll be writing them again about their supposed explanation to the 1/2 mile lack of resource thing.
