I can’t believe you are buying into this BS. The initial plans to purchase that property had no more to do with drainage then a new airport. The “it’s for drainage” mantra was nothing more then a straw man after the board got caught red handed trying to buy that golf course property. 

Joe, if that site was the solution for our drainage problem I would have supported it, but it wasn’t then and isn’t now. The “concept” plans by Vista Design Inc. provide no cost estimates whatsoever. They do show a lift station due to the rise in elevation from our outfall and the site location. The price required for the land acquisition was only the beginning of what would have been a very expensive project, perhaps as much as the cost to effect a path down Beauchamp Road which everyone agrees is the best solution.

I am comfortable with my opposition of this boondoggle and would do exactly the same today.
