Fore!
Do you think your tax dollars should pay for a golf course? Perhaps if you are among the almost 12 percent of Americans who golf, you do. The rest of us would perfer government worry about measly little things like police and fire protection, snow removal, etc. Don't ask me to subsidize your hobbies, I won't ask you to subsidize mine.

Apparently Moon Township's new slogan isn't doing the trick for them.

Clever.
I should add that I do agree that local governments should provide recreational facilities, but a golf course consumes a great deal of land and can be used for only one activity: golf. On the contrary, even the smallest municipal parks can offer a range of activities, thus appealing to a broader segment of the tax-paying populace. Plus, as the Trib story indicates, government-owned golf courses have an unfair advantage over privately-run courses.

Aw, crap. I was just about to ask for a TIF to build a model railroad layout between Heinz Field and PNC Park, but I guess you're saying I can't now?
But come to think of it, Mayor Smurphy is a model train buff ... this might just fly.
I'll get back to you.
