Gunstock is not spending outside its means.
The debate was whether Gunstock should be run as a business or not.
Well run businesses have gone to profit sharing (management bonuses being part of that) for several decades now to align the owners' interests with the employees' interest.
The libertarian debate is whether a government entity should compete with private interests.
The alpine skiing itself doesn't... as I can't think of any other alpine skiing in the county... support businesses are questionable.
For someone focused on taxpayers, most of the delegates would want Gunstock to increase profits - thus providing more to the county, and lowering the demand on local property owners to fund the county operations. To delegates from Gilford, it would be better for Gilford property tax payers to have those support businesses on private taxable property.
