REGARDING:
“they can find money when they want to do something with it.”

Please try to consider it from the owner’s viewpoint: He had land he wanted to sell. He had a buyer up until they both discovered the county had used it as a landfill without permission. The buyer was no longer interested in buying. The seller’s prospects had been harmed by the county’s actions.

If you were in his situation, wouldn’t you want to be made whole?

As a citizen of the county do you deny your responsibility?

Not so sure about the gun range concept, though. Nuclear power is dangerous if not dealt with carefully. Stray bullets might be distracting. Even if the targets were in the opposite direction, some shooters would likely miss that badly.

Gulf power should buy the place and not let taxpayers pick up the bill for the cleanup so they can get a sweet deal when they buy it from the county a a later date.
Whats a little buried trash next to what a nuclear plant is capable of producing?

The gun range is a great idea. I do not know if some of these transplants could handle the idea. The last time I checked, you could legally discharge firearms on private property, outside the city limiths?

“Sounds like a great location for a gun range.”

And then we can contaminate the property with lead and kill everyone with that. The company I work for is cleaning up 6 different shooting ranges now so I could use the job security.

REGARDING:
“How do you “accidentally” bury trash???”

They intentionally buried the trash. At a guess they just didnt’ notice they had gone past their property line.

Jane I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if Gulf Power wants a piece of property bad enough they will get it under imminent domain.

So if you don’t want a nuclear plant in this area….stop selling land to Gulf Power!!! If they don’t have anywhere to put it we won’t have to worry, will we???
