Golf Course Is Still for Sale
Letter to the editor

No one should have a false sense of security that the Casta del Sol Golf Course has been saved just because Sunrise made a statement of disinterest. The golf course is still for sale, and Sunrise might be waiting to see what happens with the Right-To-Vote Initiative.

Isn’t it curious that Sunrise lost interest exactly two weeks after the Right-To-Vote petition was launched? Sunrise pursued the housing project for nearly a year, and its PR agent made campaign donations to four council members. Sunrise officials were still pushing their housing project prior to the announcement of the initiative in the newspaper, and they had staked the property where the buildings were planned.

We need to get the initiative on the ballot before Sunrise returns or another developer makes an offer that involves carving up the golf course. This isn’t the only parcel targeted for rezoning, and the city doesn’t need more housing or traffic.
