What would you protect?

Last Spring I asked a few of the selectman candidates in an interview a very pointed question: "what would you fight like hell to preserve or protect about Nantucket?" Here's what I would fight to hold onto.

The quality of the water in our harbors.

Traditions.

The scalloping industry.

Beach access and recreation.

Locally owned small businesses. (And locally owned large ones for that matter.)

Community.

The continued viability of Nantucket Families.

Tomorrow I'll write about the stuff I'd like to see changed.
