Dear Editor,
After reading the editorial in the March 26 edition, “Consider casino – for a hefty price,” I was reminded of the old joke in which a rich man asks a woman “will you sleep with me for $1 million?” After considerable thought, she reluctantly agrees, whereupon he asks, “Well, then would you sleep with me for $50?,” to which she replies indignantly “Certainly not! What do you think I am?” He responds, “Well, we’ve established that, now we’re just haggling over price.”
Morgan Hill has had a consistent policy of not pursuing major retailers to augment the tax base so as not to “spoil the quaint rural character of Downtown,” which is doublespeak for “we want to be like Los Gatos/Palo Alto/Burli ngame, not Gilroy.” Given this history, would it not be a colossal hypocrisy to sell out both our quality of life and possibly our safety for the equivalent of $50?
I can only hope that the editorial board’s tongue was firmly planted in their collective cheek as they composed this piece.
Bryson Lee, Morgan Hill
