‘Stop kicking the can down the road’

BY ANDREA ADAMS & BRUCE DUNPHEY

Please know that we are in total support of the current revised $86.5 million middle ground school plan.

With continued interruptions to all the work that’s been put into this—the costs will just get higher and higher and the current political situation (tariffs, etc.) will escalate the costs even further.

The most current proposal has had many experts in their fields sharing in the project. Enough is enough. We do not think that others, without the expertise, should be allowed to pull down the efforts of those that have given many thousands of hours to this middle ground proposal.

We’re 40+ year residents of Cape. Our children graduated from the schools. We currently have 4 grandchildren in the schools. Our daughter Catherine Adams is coaching the middle school field hockey team while raising 4 children and working as a VP at TD Bank. Her husband, also a Cape HS graduate, Ben Blouin, is coaching both the youth soccer and lacrosse programs while managing our grocery store in Kennebunk.

Please, we sincerely ask each of you, to stop kicking the can down the road and move forward. We knew 30+ years ago the schools needed work, but the school boards were shut down over the years by too many people only thinking of themselves and NOT for the good of the community.
