A lot of people say, 'This is a waste of taxpayer money,' ... But we've allowed a lot of economic development along the coast, and that's a big economic impact. |
It's just sitting out there churning like a winter storm, and it's taking foot after foot of shoreline. I would rather just have it come ashore and get it over with. |
The oceanfront was pounded. It really got a winter's worth of storms in a week. |
They probably saved tens of millions. It's a world of difference. |
They're really kind of a sacrificial front line â?¦. (But that's) vital in the fact it protects the infrastructure behind it. |
With the storm surge like this and the slow movement of this storm, it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't get another inlet opened. |
