MC you still playing the lottery?!

I usually buy a ticket when it gets above $200 million.

But maybe I’ll buy one tomorrow. I’m feeling lucky.

Got that right Benny, not again. This Big Tupper plan is supported by a bunch of the ACR Koolaid drinkers, many of whom have no clue about skiing or the running of a ski area. And the town of Tupper Lake will not be buying it for back taxes. And this groups' plan is for someone else to run the ski area (State Agency) and make all that money, right. So who puts up the Millions to resurrect the snowmaking system, refurbish lifts, finish the work on the gutted lodge, brush out the trails etc? As much as I would like to see the hill up and running again I think it's a longshot at best.

I would also be very surprised if the town bought it.

If nothing else this brings the Foxman era to a close right?

I'd like to understand the editorial approval process on that piece.
