Controversial Golf Course Purchase in Watertown

Here's one I'm sharing more because of how ridiculous overall it seems to me. Brief summary is that some Watertown council members are being investigated after a complaint was made regarding the purchase of a golf course by the city. The complaint alleges that there was potential for bribery regarding the deal, and state police are now investigating.

Here's the article in full.

It's ridiculous to me because of how wasteful a golf course actually is. Doesn't seem like a good use of taxpayer money, and the scandal surrounding this deal makes it even worse. I'm of the opinion that it's a terrible purchase that'll serve only to hurt the city and make a couple of people wealthy at the cost of everyone else in the area.
