Perhaps you are being somewhat naive.

Those offshore wind companies are not handing out money with the expectation of no return, or out of their concern for the environment. They are buying silence.... and they succeeded. Also, some people previously employed by these local enviro groups have gone to work for the wind companies.

Coastal Bays should be more interested in support from the county to obtain $5 million instead of greedily taking $125,000 from some offshore company to buy their silence on that issue.

For Coastal Bays to say they take no position on that offshore project is the height of arrogance.

Frankly, citizens should know more about how Coastal Bay spends its grant money. For example, that project called Jenkins Point. Supposedly it was put out for bids. They apparently selected the low bidder who was at two OPA meetings. At the initial meeting the low bidder said his bid was $8 million. Six months or so later, the low bidder said his bid was $10 million.

To my knowledge there are not even any construction drawings.

I expressed concerns about how the project for doing work around the South Gate Pond was handled.
