I'm not a fan of too much regulation, but there are areas In The county <br /> that are a draw. This is significant wear and tear on infrastructure that the permanent residents <br /> have to fund through various taxes. <br /> 446 They employee half the town. 2/4/2025 11:21 AM <br /> 447 Many people come to visit the community.
