Snow Job

Well, it appears that the Scottish fellow who promised to build an indoor ski mountain in Riverhead has finally backed out of the project after revealing that of the $100 million he claimed to have available, he lacked about $99,500,000 of it.

He had some other ideas for Long Island that likely won't get past the drawing-board stage:

1. The Long Island Commuter Tube transit system, which promises Ronkonkoma-to-Manhattan transportation in under three minutes.

2. Filling in the Long Island Sound so cars can travel to Connecticut without going through the City.

3. Disneyland Coram.

4. A rebuilt Nassau Coliseum and a hotel/condo combo featuring a 60-story tower. (Oh, wait, that's Charlie Wang's idea.)

If only a guy like THAT, and not the "entrepreneur" Tony Stewart, would do business on LI!
