Boycott Gettysburg
We loved Gettysburg: got married there, considered moving there, took dozens
of week-long trips, spent many thousands of dollars there, but those days are over thanks to park superintendent John Latschar. He's ruining the battlefield while calling it restoration. Desecration is more descriptive. We decided if we spent another dime we'd be supporting the destruction. Trees are being ripped out by the acre. The deer have been slaughtered. Visiting the battlefield on a Nov. evening is an experience everyone should be able to enjoy, but he shortened the hours so you'll be ticketed and labeled criminals. He likes saying, "The time for comment was during the planning, not now." Well, Bozo, the public DID and continues to comment, but you ignore them for your self-centered agenda. Tens of 1000s have voiced their concern, but you act as though the battlefield is your own private domain. It belongs to the taxpayers, not an arrogant government appointed bureaucrat. Ghost hunters have been turned away in droves. Not only is the town losing a fortune toward the local economy, the park is losing thousands of watchful eyes from some of the most respectful visitors. Those with evil intent will always gain access at night as was proven by the recent vandalism, closing the park merely keeps honest folks out. John Latschar has, in affect, given vandals free rein. Attendance is lagging. He blames everything except his own bumbling policies. He moans about never having enough money, yet continues wasting funds on mindnumbingly senseless projects that divide the townspeople and drives others away. It's typical government ineptness. Looks like John Latschar sits around dreaming up new ways to **** people off. If he's not shooting the wildlife, cutting down 100s of acres of trees, or screwing up direction of traffic, he'll come up with some other dumbass plan. Will John Latschar donate the lost revenue from his own pocket? LOL! Chances are he'll eventually move on to another location leaving his mess and debts behind for someone else, much as he did in the past. The only thing worse than allowing John Latschar to inflict so much damage to such hallowed ground is--too few have the stones to do anything about it. Talk is cheap, holding back spending speaks volumes. We're doing our part. Good bye Gettysburg. You were our favorite place on Earth until John Latschar raped you. Now you're just a memory. What a pity. Tom and Cassie |
