Tommy -
Were you at the Planning Board meeting?
If you had been there, you would know that MM was making a point that
they can't get involved in building permanent bathrooms and still
make their Memorial Day deadline. That's why their solution is pop
out bathrooms as part of the pop out kiosks on the green acres
spaces. This has zero connection to libs, Tom, and I think you know
it.
