Bob, very good insight and questions. There may be some spirited discussion from both sides, but ultimately as BMBV has indicated previously(I think), it will be up to the courts.
IF this is true AND they actually spend the $40 to $60 million that they are currently planning what affect does this have on the Public vs. Private dilemma? I know how this was addressed in Okaloosa Co and Walton Co up to Topsail, at least I think I know. Does that represent legal precedence?
SJ, don't worry too much about it. I believe EVERYTHING that is going to be said here has been said elsewhere in one flavor or another.It is an important subject, so please post private beach posts in the private beaches threads, otherwise, much useful discussion and info goes unseen by people looking for info on it.
Yea I know...did you see John McCain's face while Romney was endorsing him?I believe all of this was ruled on in Hillary Supporters vs. Obama Supporters in the 1st circuit court of the politics forum.
Not to even get into the privatization issue-
Hasn't the beach pretty much renourished itself by now? Sure looks that way down here by Eastern Lake. Why waste the $60M on dredging?
Why not spend the bucks on 4-laning the 331 bridge? Or some other large-scale project that's truly in the public interest.
Yeah, I know, different programs, different agencies, different funding.
But still...
