DOES ANYONE CARE?

No. Islanders don't vote unless they also have a permanent (primary) residence in the same town as their island. The townspeople, not the islanders, have the say on how the islands are affected. While we may only be "summer people," many of us have been there (and paying the same amount in taxes as the locals - or even more because we're waterfront) all our lives, as have our families for 3, 4 or 5 generations before that. Seems a little unfair.
