Response  to snowbirds leaving

To the Editor

Why all the complaining about snowbirds? Sure many are not as polite as most of our permanent residents but they bring a lot of cash to the area. They spend easily and they are not all Republican fanatics slavishly adoring Trump.
Indeed, they don’t park properly but our local pubs and restaurants are doing well.
I’m glad our golf ambassadors politely ask them not to drive on the greens and not hawk for balls holding others up. But they do bring  a lot of cash.
See you next season, snowbirds and snowflakes.
