Visit to Belle Isle

[bassab]

The conservancy is on the way, currently being led and created by the BIWC. They are currently getting the committments for financing the conservancy and then will move on to raising the funds for the restoration of the island. [[The newly landscapped Sunset Point with new restroom facilities was paid from by the BIWC). They are hooked into the movers and shakers of the Detroit area. This is not a pie in the sky organization or dream, look for real results in a few years.

"As far as getting people to donate to FOBI, one of the aforementioned nincompoops probably has a few bucks that she saved on her property taxes that she could donate. Try giving her a call."

Defer, defer, defer.

I was always under the impression if you wanted to improve something you donate time or money not withhold your time/money until it is up to your expectations [[at which point there is no need for your time/money)

Does the city mismanage BI? Absolutely. Is that or BWC tax boondoggle enough to justify sitting on your hands and waiting for others to do the work? I guess it is for some people.
