I hope they make the investments for Laguna. Everyone knows the potential of that place and it would be a shame to see it go to waste.
After reading this again its clear the elected officials aren't racing fans. And their expectations that donations or using weed money will help make this happen pisses me off. The place has a proven history of generating income for the community. For me it's no different than building a new parking garage in Monterey, it's an investment that will pay off in the long term.
