Yet we borrow venture capitol for an untested marina idea in the face of looming deficits for next year. <BR/><BR/>My understanding of Dillin's funding(50mil), is almost entirely in the housing aspect of the development. Housing w/o shops and services?? How's that gonna be a draw? Boat dealer??? Boat repair shops?? Boat fueling stations?? What kind of "Marina" is lacking these things??? These would be the fundementals in my mind. <BR/><BR/>I fail to see the sea legs of this endevor. What I do see is lots of deficit, lots of higher taxes and more failure unless these questions are answered in the affirmitive.Chad Quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324092623441842505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-91603611521939737812007-10-05T08:19:00.000-04:002007-10-05T08:19:00.000-04:00Tim - I couldn't find such a comment in any of the...Tim - I couldn't find such a comment in any of the searches I did.
