Comment on Park Service sets beach driving permit prices by charlie

This all stems from Nixon’s “executive order” No one ever voted for it…So the fees are taxation without representation pure and simple.

And…executive orders can be countermanded.

Seems everyone wants the government to keep their hands out of things until they need FEMA relief or an emergency bridge built.

Ken–Politics baby! Doesn’t matter what side you fall on! The system is screwed up. You nailed with your last line!…..But, you and many others still can’t see the forest because the trees get in the way! YOU are lucky you still can drive on the beach at all. Be mad at those who never took the initiative to create a management plan, even after they were warned. Be mad at the tree-hugging judge that loves plovers. Just don’t be mad at people because they are smart enough to know that this is better than the other alternatives.

Comment on Show will go on, but not in downtown Manteo by Terri

I think ALL of the businesses
in Manteo should welcome income from wherever it comes. Businesses have had a hard time for several years now. Perhaps instead of “whining” and spoiling everyone else’s fun, they should embrace anything that will introduce “newcomers” to the town. I’m sure the inns and hotels and bed & breakfast owners would appreciate a full house in October. I know the shop owners would appreciate the prospect of shoppers!! Lets take a vote!!!!!

sorry, I mis-spelled nameless in the last line, guess I got carried away. Do not want the Grammer Police to get me as part of their quota, or not a quota, what is the other term ?

It is just my opinion, but people should have the guts to use their own name when making comments. I say what I think and am not afraid. That is AMERICA. We do still have freedom of speech. Speak your mind and be proud of it ! There was actually a short blip of me on the channel 13 news. I said what I felt and am proud of my right to do so.

I read all the stuf on the sentinal web site, did not really make a lot of sense.

Our new Mayor and 2 Commissioners wanted a new Town Attorney, cool, I would too if I was them. Mr. Michael and the Firm were the Town Attorneys before Dan Merrell. They are experienced and will do a good job. The situation is about police officers, and what is going on in the management chain above them, ending with Town Manager, including everything inbetween.

“Sing this to the old Dr. Pepper song!” What on earth is that supposed to mean ? Can you explain ? Why does everyone use fake names, afraid to say what they really want to say ? Unless you use your real name you should keep your comments to your self, that is just MY opinion. This is just getting really wacky.

I have 3 children in school here, am currently unemployed, trying to make sure my children have a good place to grow up . I want my children to be able to respect the Police. I have no idea what motivates the bizarre comments here by maneless commentors.

Can five thousand people even fit downtown?? I think even with extra people supplying food y’all wouldn’t be able to keep up!! I don’t care where it’s at, it’s a shame it’s not going to be downtown, though, that seemed like it would be great draw for the town of Manteo. Oh, and don’t forget it’s in October!! Lots of businesses dying to see customers that time of year. But like I said, I know where I will be this October!

Well, Kill Devil Hills made the 6 o’clock news today, 2/3/12, on WVEC channel 13. Again, our Town Manager and our Chief of Police Gary Britt, stated “no comment” when asked by the news reporter about all this mess in the police department. Gary did say one thing, that being, it doesn’t feel good when asked about his suspension. I question why he would say that because he was paid for three months to sit at home and do nothing for the Town. Also no comment,again, from the District Attorney when asked why the petition to remove Britt was never filed.

seems like Manteo maybe missing out on a chance to change things up from their usual first friday activities. i’m sure the beach will welcome the gift of a free concert !!!
