This includes communication to delay the alcohol nip ban. The clean-ups undertaken by the local business community are very much appreciated by the Town of Mashpee. Selectman O'Hara indicated in his opinion; the merchants do not have anything to do with the illegal disposal of alcohol nips. The Town should be enforcing and the liquor store owners should not be penalized. It appears the Town is not going after the right person.
