Why should anyone have a say in anything when they’re here for 8 weeks per year, and affect the environment and infrastructure for those living here year round to deal with? Most summer residents are insular. They spend money in their own restaurants, supermarkets and businesses. That money goes right back to NYC and Jersey.
Unfortunately there’s a huge loophole in NY election laws which allows you to change your voting status to vote up here. That should be changed. One should live here 6 months to declare residency.
