To the Editor:

What we absolutely do not need is another masked tax. If one were to address beach badge fees, do it for the beaches, not to subsidize the shuttle (“Ready-Made Solution,” 10/11). My property taxes have gone up about $1,000 in the past two years. Take the $10 from that. Out of curiosity, I wonder how much was actually “donated” by those 100,000 estimated shuttle riders this past summer.

Down here on the poor end of the Island, we walk or ride our bikes during the summer.
