Grand Island Turns Profit
Press release from the issuing company

Lee County Commissioner Bill Williams had seen enough.
From 2002 until 2009, the Commission had transfered more than $1 million from the county's general fund to subsidize its ownership of the Grand Island Club. Williams decided the time had come to draw a line in the sand.
"I had nothing against golf or ownership of the club, but I knew we couldn't keep pouring money into Grand Island without eventually having to raise taxes," Williams said Tuesday.
