Laugh or cry
To the editor:
Sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. If I read one more headline with the words “a study to start soon,” I think I’ll become ill.
This “new” one concerning beach gateway road has been done 32 times previously, and this time will cost $1.3 million, according to the article. Did all the other 32 studies cost the same?
Our mayor states that it is “a perfect storm for something good to happen.” Apparently, it takes 32 times for a “perfect storm” to occur (and that’s not definite).
A friend of mine, who once worked with certain community groups on the Beach, listened to my rant when I voiced my disgust with reading about more studies and nothing being DONE. She said that’s because the Council never liked the results people find. Don’t know if that’s true, but something’s wrong if it takes 33 studies to come up with a plan.
