Opinion: Bove’s, Burlington and my money

Bove’s, Burlington and my money

Hello to all my Al Jazeera loving friends in Burlington city government. I recently learned that Bove’s restaurant will be closing on Dec. 23, and my immediate thought was that it did not bode well for Burlington. I say this because Bove’s is the only business in Burlington where I actually spend any of my disposable income. So when Bove’s closes, you can say “sayonara,” “adios muchachos” and “au revoir” to any more cash (and thus taxes) from this man’s pocket.

While the specific impact to Burlington will be small, as I consciously stopped spending money there years ago, I’m sure there are others who avoid Burlington just as much as I do as a result of Burlington’s incredibly deplorable and leftist leanings. So I’ll sleep well, secure in my support for America and with a few extra dollars in my pocket that I will now spend anywhere but Burlington. I’m confident that the restaurants in South Burlington and Williston will thank me — all while not taking a dime in taxes to support Burlington Telecom and thus Al Jazeera.
