Latschar might be just a little bit too cozy with some of these
contractors. Bribed, in other words. He's probably not, but it's always
fun to drag a local whore out from under his rock and into the
spotlight.


Figures a sewer rat like you would try to twist an obvious government
****up into an attack on honest private enterprise.


Your childish and petty name calling and insults do nothing but harm
your credibility.

Note that PRIVATE historic facilities such as Mount Vernon and Biltmore
Estate preserve their integrity, and don't tolerate arrogant PC whackjobs
like Latschar. The two ARE related.


Private facilities are in it for the money, period. IF the public
spends money on a place because of it's preserved integrity, so good.
But, if the private entity sees a dollar more can be made by destroying
said integrity, it will. Case in point is Stone Mountain Park here in
Georgia. When the state had it, it was a great place, quiet when you
wanted quiet, cool functions to go to every month or so. Then, the
state sold it to a private entity, and it's turned into just another
money grab. It's the same company that owns Dollywood. They've turned a
historically significant place into an amusement park.
