Recall, our self-appointed diversity councilman Skippy Mesirow was caught in a December Instagram post saying, \u201cIt\u2019s time we have the conversation about too many people in town at peak season and they are not the \u2018right people; and even if we have to take a little bit of a haircut on our income, which I certainly would, it\u2019s worth it for quality of life and the character of our town.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, he was simply caught expressing the disdain so many locals feel toward those that support our community and make it possible for us to live here.<\/p>\n

So, Skippy, you now have what you wished. Of course, you didn\u2019t wish for COVID-19 to infect our valley. However, this is what it\u2019s like when the \u201cwrong people\u201d aren\u2019t using our streets and only the \u201cright people\u201d remain. The \u201cwrongs\u201d are no longer filling our shops and businesses, paying our salaries and the taxes that fund our large city government and our subsidized housing. The \u201cwrongs\u201d have stopped building those large and expensive homes we build for them. We are going to be dead broke, unemployed and unhappy.<\/p>\n

Why are these the wrong people, Skippy?<\/p>\n
