‘Appalling’ behavior in Calabash

To the editor:
I recently visited the wonderful town of Calabash. I attended the monthly town meeting—same old story, politics as usual.
Some of the commissioners of certain committees are doing their jobs, while other commissioners are not. At the meeting, the ones not doing their jobs are wasting taxpayers’ money by attacking the ones who are working hard.
This meeting consisted of mostly bantering and arguing.
One of the commissioners told the mayor to say “pretty please” when the mayor asked to speak without being interrupted. It was appalling.
Politics is in a sad state of affairs when only a few are working hard to make the best of their town, while others are just collecting a check from the taxpayers of Calabash.
