Did anyone hear any Rehoboth Beach existing official or candidate mention anything about allowing LLCs to vote before last August's election?
I certainly didn't, even though I had many long conversations about their concerns and suggestions on how to make our town better. I heard that we should keep the rules in place that are working to make the town a more livable place, i.e., noise ordinances, better trash regulations, beach tent restrictions, etc.
Why all of a sudden are we so concerned about giving people who don't live here (yet they are using our residential areas as profit centers) a vote as to what goes on in our city? I understand that some people who do live here full time or use their beach homes as a private family retreat have their homes registered as an LLC.
But corporations, and that's what the LLCs who only own their house as a money maker are, shouldn't be able to make rules that affect all us full-time residents.
