Who is looking to shut down the CDA Trap and Skeet Club? Why?
View Quote
It's sits on leased land owned by the county/airport. The airport manager wants $$$$ to build a taj mahal to house snow plows. He wants to sell out from under the club. The manager answers to the commissioners. Leslie Duncan has been against selling, Fillios is a dem in rep clothing, and Brooks who used to be a shotgun shooter at the club is a two faced back stabber. Both Fillios and Brooks are/were realtors.
Selling is back burnered for the time being I think but the manager now wants to raise our lease rates from a nominal $1200/year(approx) to a club killing $140,000/year(approx). Brooks and Fillios have pushed the idea that we're all a bunch of rich guys with $15000 guns so the increase should be no big deal. Brooks actually knows better, this is a blue collar club with 3 High School teams.
With Leslie Duncan and Bruce Mattare we should be able to get either a reasonable long term lease or (who knows) maybe even discuss turning it into a shooting park
That's the Cliff notes, I know there is more going on than that I can't say, I am not 100% on all the details but I am close to the clubs board.
This election is critical.
