First, the town of Eden is not the town of Elma. They are two different towns in Erie County.
Second, Giambra is willing to open both Elma Meadows and the other county golf course if he can raise various fees so that the courses are "self sustaining".
Third, by allowing towns to operate county facilities after having laid off the personnel who worked in those facilities, the county is effectively replacing county workers. Yeah, that's against the Taylor Law, but to get that protection, public workers also don't have the right to strike, among other "give backs".
Fourth, if the town of Elma has the spare staff to run the golf course as well as take care of its own parkland, then maybe Elma has too many parks employees. Maybe it's time Elma gave its own residents a tax break.
