Peanut Gallery (Hagadone Gardens)

It is probably best to have this public vote on the Hagadone project, although we elected these people to make their decisions on these projects and live or die with them.

It all depends on how badly Duane Hagadone wants this project. My guess it that he wants it very badly as a legacy and a hotel out of sight on the golf course just won't do it for him. This project is his last hurrah folks and he has lots of money to throw at the campaign for approval. My guess is that he will really sugar coat it by re-working the plans and also donate a potful of money to some community cause convincing the mayor and council to pull the vote and vote for the proposal. Duane has a lot of time on his hands these days and he wants to be certain that the community now and forever remembers that Duane Hagadone will always be the top dog.

DFO: "My guess it that he wants it very badly as a legacy." Great minds think alike. The Duane wants this so badly his teeth ache.
