A Word from Cis Gors ...

re. a possible tax break from East Lakeshore Drive landowner who's considering guaranteeing access to his part of Sanders Beach in exchange for a tax break:

I don't get it... why do the ones with money get the tax break. (tax break for property owners if they let the public use Sanders Beach) Do you have a side

walk, Dave, near your home? Does that mean you get a tax break because the public get to use it, but going by your house? (just joking) Many many moons ago the little town next door to us, gave K-Mart a 5 year tax break if they built there. They lasted 6 or 7 years...I like to see a tax break for the citizens when a box store comes to town. After all they will be making money off of all of us. We don't get to make money off of them. But then like I tell my kids, life is not fair.

DFO: This one doesn't bug me too much. If the city is able to gain guaranteed access to another part of Sanders Beach, via a tax break, I'd say that's a fair swap. And I might have to begin moderating my comments about the current administration. It'd be a big breakthrough.
