Well, well. So Duane Hagadone wants a floating helicopter pad for Christmas. To be specific, the Coeur d’Alene hospitality/mediatycoon wants the helipad PLUS a 200-foot dock just in case the Queen Mary ever stops by his new Taj Ma-Duane lake manse at Casco Bay. Ho, ho, ho! As usual, however, there are always jealous whiners who view Hagadone as naughty and not nice. “He’s forgotten about his neighbors who own the lake surface,” complained one of them in a newspaper story the other day. … Neighbors? Awareness? Public trust? Oh, what quaint, silly notions/Doug Clark, Spokesman-Review. More here
Question: Do you support Duane Hagadone’s request for a 200-foot dock and floating helipad?
