Letter to the Editor

No brainer is right

Dear Editor:

In response to Mr. Coulombe’s commentary (May 26), his remarks about Fred Kaplan and his wife were a disgrace. He brags about all his contributions and expenditures but all his money hasn’t enhanced his manners.

He claims “small taxpayers” don’t contribute to the town. He may need these “small taxpayers” when it comes time to vote for the roundabout.

His vision is for the benefit of Boothbay. Who is he trying to kid? This is not Naples, Florida. It is a small town being made to look like an elaborate tourist attraction for his ego and his well-to-do acquaintances.

I am not against change but I’m not impressed with one person dictating what our center of town is being turned into. We all have the right to our opinions but God forbid we disagree with the benefactor.

Jean Latter
