Tell It To George is a collection of thoughts from here and away, from people who want to get their two cents worth in, without using their names.

For two weeks now, we have had no submissions.

What's up?

Items in a recent issue of the Wiscasset Newspaper:

• One of Westport's Perpetually Dissatisfied Gentry sues the town to reimburse her for cutting down a tree on a town way. Most would think that would just be doing a neighborly or community-minded good deed. But not to those whose sense of community was shaped in the affluent suburbs of New York, where a town is just an institution to serve their own selfish needs.

• A new property owner in a self-described Wiscasset "up-scale development," who lives in Virginia for most of the year, offers his wisdom - based on a year of seasonal residence - to the locals on how to fix a 40-year-old traffic problem, and coincidently protect his precious "view."

If you look at how "upscale development" has polluted the environment of Westport, I'm puzzled why anyone would choose it over a coal plant.

At least a coal plant would provide a few jobs above yard work scale. Does it matter if it is coal dust or upscale retirees? The community is the worse for either.
