Rockland's economic evolve since ship building, hewn granite, light manufacture, fishery, toward service and tourism
has continually disrupted the established status quo-so whats newsz?
The sad thing is, the service and tourism sector has really screwed those of us who live here all year round, and have since the place was a dirty, smelly old fishing-and-manufacturing town. Selling overpriced food and bad art to people from Connecticut can only go so far before we start kicking back. Right now there's a scandal brewing over the local Big Art Musuem trying to muzzle a critical article by a local reporter by threatening the newspaper that published the piece. Big New York Fish think they can splash into a little small-town pond and all the minnows will willingly serve themselves up as dinner. Not quite.
