Dave,

Its long been my thought .. shared by a few .. not shared by a few .. that the lighthouse isnt really a "local issue" but rather, a "lighthouse enthusiast issue." I would wonder how many permanent residents of the county there are versus the number of abnsentee landlords ...

Having said that, I wonder if, as others have mentioned before me, how many times, publicly or privately, the county commissioners have ever acknowledged who the rightful owner of the tower is before this offer was made. I would think, in terms of all future attempts, this bodes exceedingly well in legal terms for the OBC.

WE watch becasue WE care.
