I don't like to think about what an aquatic complex in the North Tract would cost before it's completed. Maybe $200 million?<BR/><BR/>The people who most want the aquatic complex already belong to the exclusive swim clubs. Why don't the swim clubs build several year-around pools? The North Tract aquatic complex would be run like a private swim club, and constructed with tax dollars.<BR/><BR/>By the way, where is the money going to come from in 20 years to provide major maintenance and renovations to a greatly increased public infrastructure? <BR/><BR/>I support and am volunteering for John Reeder's County Board campaign.
