Matt,
Shouldn't you provide a disclaimer as it pertains to your comments re: Register editorial opposing the rezoning within the resort area? Where is the line drawn when you're getting paid to push the project?

Glad to see that moorlach has found so much money to throw many millions of county dollars into an area that is home to so few. At the same time moorlach is okay in letting the County law enforcement services lose many experienced members due to low pay and benefits in comparison to neighboring agencies!
Shame on you Moorlack.
