Why on earth are taxpayers required to subsidize golfers?
Why do taxpayers subsidize parks. Parks have no revenue income. Why do you assume taxpayers are subsidizing Tri Mountain. Is it possible Tri Mountain produces positive cash flow for the county?
Review the Clark County budget and you will find your answer.
The county is not required to subsidize golfers, or to select out of state for profit golf mgt. companies instead of local companies to manage the county golf course as they have done for decades. The requirement that the council has imposed on potential buyers to keep the golf course operating is not required by law as far as has been reported. The County Council could allow for competitive bids, and competitive uses to be considered instead of deciding up front that the highest and best use of the land is to continue as a golf course. County Council positions 3 and position 4 (east county), are on the ballot for the November general election. Residents should consider well which candidates will invite local businesses to fairly compete for county contracts, and fair land purchase or development opportunities.
