Scooter Braun’s new security theater: he’s buying a private island to “protect his family,” but my taxes are paying for a gate that won’t even close on our local playground.
Let me get this straight: Scooter Braun, who already blocks off two lanes of Main Street for his tinted-out SUV convoy, now wants to wall off 15 acres of our lakefront because “people are mean to him online.” Meanwhile, our town council just approved a $200,000 “security upgrade” for the walking paths near his compound—fancy cameras and a new fence—while the pothole on Elm Street has been wide enough to swallow a Smart Car for six months. You can’t make this stuff up. The guy made a fortune off Taylor Swift’s masters, and now he’s using that cash to privatize our public shoreline? Put up a sign that says, “Trespassers will be sued,” and call it a day. We have kids walking to school in the dark because they can’t afford to fix the streetlights, but God forbid Scooter has to hear a seagull squawk while he’s sipping his oat milk latte. Where’s the common sense? If you’re that scared, move to a gated city. Don’t turn our town into your personal moat. #LakefrontForAll #TaxDollarsAtWork
