$2,500,000 for a pier? Seems like a lot. I opposed taxpayer money for the project in the first place as this could have been a valuable piece of tax revenue for a long time. If it was going to go off the tax rolls it should have at least been bought by private backers who then turned it over to the state. Instead of using their own money the RPF convinced the taxpayers it was a great idea. Good for them, their wealthy and paying higher taxes doesn't affect them the way it does so many. But, if you thought the $10,000,000 was the end your naive. It will be at least another $10,000,000 to fix the park. If the state does indeed feel the $75,000,000 open space bond is a worthy project then put it in the budget. Rhode Island must stop borrowing.
