Multimillionaires have owned Stonehenge Golf Course. All have lost millions of dollars. Now the millionaire homeowners that live on Stonehenge are pulling their scam. They do not want to lose their country club. Their property values may drop.

Now, mind you, they never supported the country club enough to keep the multimillionaires from having to unload Stonehenge. Now they want to unload the golf course on the taxpayers of Winona Lake.

There are so many things wrong with that golf course. For example, the underpasses along the roads are all supposed to have pumps. They haven’t for years. Are the rich homeowners going to pay for this? Get out of your car and look at the problem. These roads are all an accident waiting to happen.

No, their plan is the taxpayers are going to pay for this. The rich homeowners’ plan is to dump this on Winona Lake under the guise that it’s free. Understand that Denny Hepler, a Stonehenge homeowner, will be paid to run it for a while. He worked there when the first multimillionaire lost millions.

Three multimillionaires have lost millions of dollars. The rich homeowners and a handful of elite golfers want Winona Lake and the taxpayers to foot the bill. Why don’t they pay for it? These are some of the same people who won’t let us have our racetrack.

Is Winona Lake in bed with the rich homeowners? Does Winona Lake think that they’re smarter than the multimillionaires that lost millions?

Hey, Winona Lake, make the homeowners pay for their own golf course.
