I used to think a park would at least be something in return for HPP's tax money, but my opinion has changed over time. First, I don't think the current BOD is capable of negotiating a deal that would cover us for road wear and liability issues. For that matter, I don't even trust them to make a deal that would guarantee that something would actually be built once the land was donated. Second, I don't trust the county to honor any promises made. They don't exactly have a sterling record in that regard.
Greggor Ilagan should understand the history of this and put any proposal in the form of an ordinance with the force of law, but he hasn't. He's well into his second term and doesn't seem to understand some basic concepts of HPP vs. the county. And even if Ilagan managed to get something "ironclad" passed, the weasels at the county might find a way around it. Is my cynicism showing yet?
