I rue the events of the Fourth of July; the Tourism Council and the Bi Chamber of Commerce work hard but NOT for the invasion by louts, drunks and boors that BI recently experienced. I hold both organizations blameless for those disgusting visitors.
But what I think is the purview of both CofC and BI Tourism is the outsize deer herd. It "gifts" all year-round residents and a fair number of visitors and their families with lyme disease. The deer have no natural enemies, devastate gardens, menace drivers and SPREAD LYME DISEASE. My family and I have suffered bouts of it and now, we are boycotting Block Island until the deer herd is eliminated.
Sorry BI but it is too expensive to pay for a lovely three-week vacation with months of wretched illness.

I would have the restaurants educated on Best Kitchen Practices in relationship to restaurant grease. see www.greasetrap.ca
Secondly, I would have the city look at helping the restaurants with automated grease recovery devices.
In the long run the restaurants wont have to pay for grease trap cleaning or pumping.
Recovered grease is used for the manufacturing of bio-diesel.
Sewer issues related to restaurant grease will stop. see www.greasetrap.ca
