Boy! I'm glad Westport has the money to blow on an beach property! Didn't know they were so flush with cash.

On the other hand, I've lived in Westport for 40 years and the reason they closed beach ave was because of the trash, littering, and police requirement down there, CONSTANTLY. That graffiti you mention? Couldn't have been by the public, it must be those pesky plovers with spray paint cans.

Here's a solution- Go to Horseneck where they have accessible ramps since Westport selectmen are SO concerned over the handicapped. Since Westport is so flush with cash they can sponsor a handicap program to help seniors get to a beach, where there are bathrooms and trash bins and better yet ramps to use it.

The only reason they are pushing this is because someone's pockets are about to get heavy, like some selectman like Spirlet. I'm a licensed investigator and you can be certain I'll be looking into it.

By the way Healy, the shorefront there doesn't belong to the town, just a tiny sliver. The rest is privately owned and in conservation.

Clearing it has nothing to do with a possible purchase? Yeah right. Healy, I've got swampland you can buy to.
