Interesting Standard-Examimer article this morning , wherein the Godfrey-lackey Std-Ex, aka the Boss Godfrey House Propaganda Organ, once again reprises the Boss Godfrey message that the Mt. Ogden Golf Course is losing money, and thus must impliedly be ultimately sold to Godfrey crony Chris Peterson.
Annual revenue losses, combined with original construction costs, have pushed the course’s debt to more than $2 million, he said. The city subsidizes the course deficit through its annual operating budget. From the article:We're in the midst of conducting Real-life frenzied Political business right now, so we'll skip our usual microanalysis.
Godfrey promised not to sell the golf course and hopes to meet soon with the city council to discuss options to help it financially break even.
He declined to specifically disclose those options, but said a tax increase approved by voters or a course redesign could be among the strategies.
“It’s really getting out of control,” Godfrey said of the debt. “We have to decide how to address the problem.”
Godfrey also hopes the public will offer suggestions during the town meeting, for which a date and location have not been set.
We invite our gentle readers to provide that.
The floor is open for reader comments.
