Barnacles Resort Numbers
Below are our %'s of loss or gain based on liquor sales tax. These numbers are based on comparing the same month, year to year.

Jan 06 compared to Jan 07 our liquor sales tax numbers increased +26%
Feb 06 compared to Jan 07 our our liquor sales tax numbers increased +58%

Dec 06 compared to Dec 07 our liquor sales tax numbers decreased -21.5%
Jan 07 compared to Jan 08 our liquor sales tax numbers decreased -26%
Feb 07compared to Feb 08 our liquor sales tax numbers decreased -2%

January is always our busiest month of the entire year. Weekends are always busier than weekdays by far.
We started theater nights on Feb 9th, a Saturday night. (unadvertised). There was 1 weekend in February that we did not have theater nights at all, 2 weekends that we only had it on Saturday nights, and 1 weekend that we had it on both Friday & Saturday nights.

Interesting numbers aren't they....did the quote "recession" take a vacation in February compared to January? These numbers can easily be vetted...I have nothing to hide.

My Reply to Tinglestad's Letter
Bob - Just a few comments regarding Tinglestad's letter. She stated the following in her letter, " That is why I supported a statewide smoking ban in restaurants where families frequent, but should not have been extended to VFWs, Legions and bars."

My reply is this: She had the opportunity to send it back to conference committee to accommodate bars, VFW's and legions but she chose not to do that. She supported (voted for) the conference committee bill which stripped most all exemptions out. The number she is using for health care related costs is also bogus. In both cases, she is not telling you the truth plain and simple. She should be held accountable for misleading you.
