Std-Ex Letter: Another Typical Mind-numbed Godfreyite Retort

The Emerald City Godfrey Lemmings turn up the noise level on the eve of Boss Godfrey's $70 million golf course makeover pitch

By What It Will Cost Us

There's another wacked-out Jeanette Ballantyne Standard-Examiner letter to the editor today saying the Mt. Ogden Golf Course costs the city money and Chris Peterson graciously allows us to use the trails that cross his property. She "wants the city to be first and benefit the many." She also questions the excellent Std-Ex guest commentary which was published over a week ago by Catherine Feeny.

Well, emphasis on the so-called debt that the administration has put on the golf course seems a bit odd considering the debt we pay on The Junction for the benefit for the few that actually use The Junction.

The irony is that selling the golf course, trying to build condos, and embarking on this boondoggle development would benefit a few friends, probably Jeanette Ballantyne's friends.

This letter may be another attempt to try and influence the golf course decisions that may be in front of the City Council this week. It seems the mayor's backers are always more vocal just before issues are presented, possibly to cloud the issues.

Maybe this letter is also intended to take the heat off of the Envision Ogden fiasco and possible illegal campaign contributions too.
