Proposed fuel dock not worth it

How disappointing is it that a newly elected port commissioner advocates spending the taxpayer's money on a fuel dock that would only benefit a select few.

I think it would be a blight on an otherwise beautiful place.

If the marina is truly in need of a fuel dock let the boat owners and residents pay for it, not all the taxpayers, most of whom would use it nor benefit from it.
