I am a "nimby" but my backyard is the entire City of Bandon.
I am opposed to any large pool, public or private, anywhere in the City Limits of Bandon! Here's why:
1. It will be a huge strain on our already over burdened water system.
2. The pool will not be self-supporting in the long run, becoming a net drain on city finances, and
3. The liabilities it will involve: if a child is molested at the pool, or if a person is drowned or disabled there and when medical conditions start to appear due to the toxicity of pool chemicals and human waste, the City of Bandon will be sued for damages.

PS if you look back at letters to editor in 2012 you will see that I expressed this position then in the most vehement possible terms...more than once!
