If it weren't so obvious, it would be funny but it's very sad! O'Brien has begun his second year in office so now he begins to try things, anythings, that he thinks will cover up the bonehead moves he has made thus far.
In my opinion, spending over $2 Million to plan, build and open an entertainment complex on Hartford Rd. on golf course land is dumb. It doesn't even venture a guess as to what it would cost to buy all the "toys" for the complex or the costs to staff and maintain the complex. And please, don't tell me that all these costs will be borne by revenue from the complex.
Also, it has yet to be determined what effects Costco will have on the total length of the Red Nine and what this will have on the ability of the golf course to attract tournaments. Bill DeMaio is a great guy but this is worst idea yet. Leave the golf course alone, enough damage has been done to it already. And has anybody considered having another idea that will cause a traffic nightmare on Hartford Rd.?
In the meantime, our schools must beg for pennies to try to maintain their status as the lowest performing schools in the state! We as a city need to decide that it is our greatest priority to remove O'Brien/Sherwood from office.
