The voice of Accomack and Northampton counties on Virginia’s Eastern Shore

Article Promotes Partisan Bill

Dear Editor:

The Eastern Shore Post is showing its political bias again with an article on how Build Back Better would help Eastern Shore flooding, which it blames on sea level rise. The sea level isn’t rising more in some places than others, that’s absurd. The Eastern Shore is sinking and has been since a meteor created the Chesapeake Bay. This article promotes a partisan bill.

People who pay millions of dollars for waterfront property here must not be too concerned about flooding.

Our country is trillions of dollars in debt. This debt will cost us in taxes and inflation. Adding another three trillion to pander to various interest groups and fund nonessentials that individuals and local governments should be paying only increases that debt.
