Letter: Hilton Head ‘haves’ want too much

We have families living on dirt roads with limited access for fire and rescue, and the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, which has operated in the red for years “needs” $575,000 for a new lighting system?

In addition, it will “need” another $578,000 for lobby, Black Box and and house lights.

On top of that, Town of Hilton Head Island officials want to build yet another arts and entertainment center. We truly have become a town of the haves and the have nots. Charlotte Heinrichs would be ashamed to call Hilton Head home and so should we.
