Based on discussions with people I know and trust who were involved in
this process, it is clear to me that the East Side Plan, approved by
the BoD of the Minden Soaring Club and other MEV pilot groups, is the
only viable plan. While I'd like to see the sweetheart deals that were
given to developers reversed and space made available for new T-hangars
too, my conversations convinced me that everything has been done in
that regard (not much unfortunately) that could be. Those at MSC who
worked long and hard on this process deserve our support -- not to
mention our thanks given their service as unpaid volunteers. Hence I
strongly recommend a vote for the East Side Plan. If the vote goes the
other way, I wouldn't be surprised to see an exodus of MSC officers,
feeling (as I would in that case) "If they think they can do better,
let them try. I've had it."
