I am all for restoring and protecting our heritage but with the economy the way it is I think this is not the time to spend mony on a resort. We are loosing funding for our school and they want to restore a resort!! I guess we know what is really important to Michigan and it is not the education of our children!!! Karol

What does Lake county need night club can they not find something with out alcohol involed in doing something besides kind can really enjoy a night club, where is the ,money real going.....they have been restoring it for years now...It is nice they have there jazz fest but this is crazy use if money but so is dial a ride gas gozzeler's.....

Why is it that our Governor will cut small municipalities and education, while finding tax dollars to restore a night club in Idlewild? I am SICK of such wasteful,in my opinion,spending of tax money. Yes I relize that funds from the Federal government are ear marked for this type of project, and yes I know that this kind of spending MAY create some jobs. However, can we not find a more sensable way of using money that comes out of our pockets?

I'm delighted to see the state and federal government do something to preserve our heritage. I'm sure people will come on line and scream about this shortage or that shortage. While it's certainly true that ultimately we can dismiss any spending for one reason or another, the fact is that Michigan relies on tourism more than ever. If we fail to preserve the things that people will come here for, our economic problems will grow. Great job Governor!
