Cobble Beach and Willis McLeese

Rob Mcleese and his father built a brand new golf course in Ontario. Here is a picture of the patriarch himself, accepting an award for the best new golf course 2007. (Ref: http://www.cobblebeachgolflinks.com/press_article.php?id=6)

Here is a picture of the club house. Do you see any transmission lines anywhere? If there are no significant visual impacts and no degradation of property values why did they apparently bury all their power lines? (Ref: http://www.cobblebeachgolflinks.com/)

What's good for the goose is definitely not good for the gander.

If I carried my anti-NYRI sign and paced outside the front entrance of the club house, I would probably be arrested for trespassing and kicked (ungraciously) out of Canada. But apparently NYRI can take my United States property by eminent domain against my own wishes and I still get to pay taxes on that property.
