I grew up in this area. When my (liberal) mother-inlaw told us about this great new project coming to western NY and how it was going to "revitalize" Rochester. I explained that I can see the attraction for locals going to Toronto for an afternoon but why would they come to Rochester? Still wondering.

Waste of money from the get go, why in God's name would they start with such a huge boat?
Was it a payback for one of Louise Slaughters contributors? One can only speculate.

I really hope that some sort of serious investigation is launched to make sure no underhanded backroom shenanigans took place to get this boondogle going. On its face the whole thing reaks and I can't understand how 6 of 7 council members agreed to float Johnson's boat.
