Dear Editor: I have been wondering why? Why isn’t more of the Cruise Ship Head Tax and other money, connected directly and indirectly to tourism, not being shared with the residents who live in Sitka? Why are utility rates being raised again? Why isn’t the tourism revenue being used to help lower utility costs? How about filling the pot holes in the Sitka streets? Help the less fortunate! Where’s my piece of the pie?
Call me selfish. Call me greedy. I don’t care. But, until I do get a bigger piece of the tourist pie in Sitka example: (lower utility bills), I am now declaring myself anti-tourism. I am now going to make a stand. Make noise. Do you want me to be pro-tourism? Then give me some of that pie.
David Rice, Sitka
