By the way, I know Dean. Dean can be accused of a lot of things when it comes to politics; flamboyant, zealous, rambunctious and very passionate and extremely articulate...but I have never known him to be a liar.

I would like to think most voters were unaware of what they were really voting for. As I hope you are.

Good work Dean!
Good Work Dean?

Skip, I don't understand. Are you unaware of the realities of the situation? Or do you believe that islanders should have to meet the frontage requirements?

In my opinion the way he represented the warrant in his letter is an outright lie. It does not do what he claims. The residents are losing no power except the power to totally block ALL work requiring a permit by using a technicality that was obviously never intended for islands.
