Comments on: Alabama House Passes Gulf State Park Compromise http://blog.locustfork.net/2009/05/alabama-legislature-debates-concession-act-changes/ A Wide Open Weblog for Big News, the Big Picture Tue, 22 May 2012 20:49:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Elise http://blog.locustfork.net/2009/05/alabama-legislature-debates-concession-act-changes/comment-page-1/#comment-2823 Elise Thu, 28 May 2009 16:33:07 +0000 http://blog.locustfork.net/2009/05/06/alabama-legislature-debates-concession-act-changes/#comment-2823 I am researching this issue because I am in favor of a lower scale convention center development in Gulf Shores. I have lived there 2 years now and it is like a ghost town much of the year. I have been to conferences at San Destin Conference center the last two summers and they are overloaded with people. Gulf Shores needs this along with a lot of environmental/marine education for it's visitors and residents. Once again, we (Alabamians) are lagging behind due to those who like same old-same old. More than likely those who are against almost any growth are the older generation of which I am a part but have the mindset of a 30 year old; sorry but change is ineviditable. I am totally against over development, but see a big need for the area to make a living.

My guess is he is selling out the state to the backers of the Indians in Alabama. That maybe why he was so "gun-ho" on his little task force. I hope the legislature is smarter than he and WILL NOT pass what he is pushing for on this bill! I think everyone needs to call their Representative, NOW. You can bet that Riley has some
