Default Charitable Giving is a very personal decision...

First, the previous posters are correct in that the article mentions nothing about the guy's charitable giving, so how can a conclusion be drawn about what he does for the local area? Many people--especially very wealthy ones--donate money anonymously or via a trust. Even if it is true that he doesn't give any money to Laconia groups, that does not make him a greedy lout.

Charitable giving is a very personal decision. My son has been dealing with cancer for a number of years, and we choose to make all of our charitable donations to a couple groups that have helped him immensely. We give zero to civic groups in our town because they are not important to us.

And just to get back on the topic of the thread, I am all for the old HH being torn down and a new DD going in its place. It is an eyesore, especially in an area that relies on tourism.
