From the story: “We're kind of treated like the red-headed step child,” and this gem: "Mayor David Cignotti says beach citizens in the past didn't feel like they were always part of the county,"

Awww, that is so sad. The beach that doesn't want "outsiders" to come to their town and don't feel like they belong to the county. Keep your funds on the island, raise your bridge and run the kingdom.
