Is that all you got? A potential risk that is likely to never materialize? Sorry, Chicken Little, the sky is not going to fall . .

Let's see - I'm "Chicken Little" because I don't think OP should take ANY risk for a developer. I'm trying to look out for Ocean Piners ratepayers, but I don't didn't see you say the developer was "Chicken Little" when his attorney refused to take the same risk. Very interesting, and says a lot about where you are coming from on this.

Let me try again - if the potential risk is "likely never to materialize" then why was the developer extremely adamant he was not going to take that risk? Why should Ocean Pines rate payers take ANY risk for a private developer?

Frankly, I'm at a complete loss as to how anyone can justify making Ocean Pines ratepayers take ANY risk for a developer when we have nothing, absolutely nothing, to gain by taking the risk. How a more or less self-identified liberal Democrat can justify such a circumstance is even more mind boggling.
