WE LISTENED TO THE PUBLIC

(reading between the lines of Royal Gorge LLC's presentation to Placer County)

We listened to the public

With our fingers in our ears

We'll build just what we want to

Cause we're only profiteers

Who need to build the maximum

To get our fair return

So genuine involvement

We resolutely spurn.

To get water from your lakes

We'll tell you any tale

What matters in the end

Is that we make the sale

Of our condos and our houses

Our denuded bits of land

We need to make our profits

Don't you understand?

Donner Summit's just real estate

The Sierra's one big lot

We'll carve it up with bulldozers

Your opinion matters naught

Except as window dressing

It's really just a sham

For the public's genuine opinions

We just don't give a ........

(but we may build one)
