Letter: Follow the money

Regarding Vanderbilt Beach Road extension and last Monday night’s workshop:

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to decide on which proposal! Let’s see: Take people’s livelihoods and homes, or vacant land and golf course. (Oh yeah, that’s right. We’re talking Collier County.)

But let’s not all forget who is pushing for the south-side extension — big money by the name of WCI and golf courses.

So don’t give up, neighbors, or give in. It’s only just begun! I think these commissioners have forgotten how they got their jobs — from us taxpaying citizens.

Watch out. Elections are coming up.

And also, they think it’s too expensive to run the road on the north side. Try taking our land and homes. They have no idea the price they will pay. They say they don’t have the funds now for the roads. Just wait till they start writing those checks for our homes and land.

Ching, ching.
