And this is what's wrong with the government today. 1000 people (in a town of 1400) show up at a meeting with a near-unified "HELL NO!" to something .... and these clowns are still trying to figure out a way to work around them when they're not looking.
And gov't wonders why it's not trusted.
I have to admit, although not good in principle, if I were a college with the space and debt to pay the concept would be sorely tempting.
