GoodspringsResident

I am a resident of Goodsprings,and I live here because I enjoy the peace and quiet.I am sure you all have reasons why you live where you live also.I want to address some issues with this newspaper article,first it is one of the worst and most incorrect I have seen in a while.The situation with the bar is being led away from the real problem, and people are getting side tracked from the real issue.The problem is not the bikers.The real issue is we want to continue living in Goodsprings where it is peaceful and quiet and enjoy our lives.The story states there are 2 women,there was actual a petition with over 40 signatures of people who live in Goodsprings who are against expansion of the bar and the building of a hotel,there would have been more but due to unforseen events the petition was only passed along 1 day prior to the county meeting.Mr Sheckles states that what he is trying to do is for historical reasons and to give a gift back to the community.If this were correct he would leave the bar as it is to preserve it historical values.And as far the hotel he wants to build, if you want to be historical correct, then he should replace it in the same spot as the original hotel and since he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart as a gift to Goodsprings why doesn't he agree to donate all profits to the town to be used as the residents agree upon to provide for our community. That would be great except for the fact that Goodsprings already has water issues and to build this hotel would only endanger the residents water more at this time.I have alot more to add to this, but its getting late and I have to deal with 50 bikers and all the other people in the morning that have been misinformed about why the residents of Goodsprings are trying to save their community
