When I read this bill on the website it did not state whether this was a new golf course or an existing one. If it is a new golf course Lansing surely doesn't need it as they can barely afford the upkeep and other overhead on the existing golf courses that they own at this time. Is this a way to put the financial burden of the land on Lansing? If so what are you doing? The 68th District is totally in Lansing.
