Actually, this should be a no brainer for anyone other than that idiot Manson and incompetent Norton. The professional staff at Interior (the people who have a foggy idea of what they are supposed to do) reviewed both applications. The scores assigned were so far apart that they should have spoken for themselves. It is obvious that the professional staff believes the county is neither capable of taking care of the lighthouse nor can they be trusted to be stewards of the light. Any person with a one digit IQ and the ability to read and comprehend should have been able to figure this out from the scores assigned. I guess we found two political flunkees who can't meet these high minimum requirements . . .

IMHO,
