I couldn't agree with Ken more, I have observed the situation from a distance and must admit that when the BITA (Beaver Island Transportation Authority Board) was "under fire", despite the rantings and ravings of certain community members we forged ahead with the effort to get our contractual obligations in order no matter how difficult...............and we had to answer all questions and deliberate all points that were relevant to the overall best interests of BITA, and the Beaver Island community. These are hard times, Beaver Island property owners are being taxed at an unblievable rate...........how do we pay for expansion? How do we justify impending tax increases when the clinic is broke now, the school is apparently underfunded, the road commission cannot fulfill their obligations and the divisive nature of politics on the island pervaded by people who refuse to consider the whole and not just their own little corner of the world continues to be the daily song and dance........c'mon people, this used to be a community of people who not only lived together but worked together, ...............................please???????!!!!!
