To the Editor:
No, not this year. Elections are coming, and I will not be voting for any of our selectmen. At their meeting on June 12, they made overtures to the public that they would do something about the desecration at Trade Wind Preserve. It’s been two months, and nothing’s been heard from them. I can’t support any one of those — they have sat idly by while the Land Bank has fenced in and gated one of the most pristine parcels of land Oak Bluffs has.
It’s not about dogs. It’s about a community of people who enjoy and appreciate this once vast and varied landscape.

Which selectman is up for election this year?
Since the election for selectman(men) is not until next April, perhaps we should give the incumbents a bit more time to work this out with the Land Bank, because if they ultimately cannot come to an amicable conclusion then we’ve created our own constitutional crisis, so to speak, which will involve off-Island litigation concerning the powers/lack thereof of the Land Bank, a messy and expensive road to go down.
