Last year Peter Tesei appointed one Jonathan Asch our official Harbor Master and that gentleman returned the favor by zooming around our 5 – mph coves at 30 miles per hour, lights flashing, quadrupling mooring fees and, in general, being a complete pain in the ass.
Not satisfied with that success, someone on Tesei’s Waterways Committee now wants to appoint deputy harbor inspectors to further harass boaters. We need to get rid of Asch, not create little replicas, so this is a lousy idea. I’ll be rebuilding my potato cannon in the next few weeks and the first town employee to come down my creek, Asch or an officious deputy, is going to experience the fruits of Maine upside his head.
