Letter: Deal or ... ?

Maybe someone can help me understand this. Naples City Council is confusing me.

Just a short time ago council stated that a deal was a deal when it came to a private golf course, where one of the council members is a club member.

No matter the extra cost. The deal had been done and they wouldn’t stop it.

Cost to city taxpayers: Thousands of dollars.

Now they say no deal. Just because Naples Municipal Airport has a valid lease, takes no city funds, houses a fire department, Mosquito Control, an airborne ambulance and law enforcement — not to mention the economic benifits to this area — no deal.

When is a deal a deal, or do we need Howie Mandel here to explain?

As I have said before, if you were not here when the airport was built then you really can’t complain. The airport was here first.
