The BullShit Flows From The Savior
The district’s abrupt decision was a surprise to the developers, says McMahon, since their plan all along had been to use Langley Lake, which was considerably closer and less expensive to tap. Meanwhile, a residents’ group and environmental advocates were leery of the Langley Lake solution and felt that the process, such as it was, had shut them out of the discussion. In the end, after a court challenge, Langley Lake became the water supply, but the imbroglio cost Kensington Island Properties millions of dollars in additional studies and legal costs, not to mention a delay of some two years.
McMahon claims Bob Long pulled a fast one changing the water source at the last minute. Funny how he never mentioned anything from March 2006 when the information sessions and public hearings were going on until May of 2009.
Shut them out of the discussion - I believe the Regional District changed the water source and the bylaws illegally. That's what the court challenge was about. The judges decision was that the residents were not given the opportunity to speak to the water source. The RD and KIP lost.
Don't count your chickens yet Brian. You really should have been more careful. UBID is a time capsule of events. How many documents can be challenged? Dirty little fingers.........
