In 1947 the state of Georgia bought the island from the millionaires and made it into a state park with a mandate that the park be affordable and accessible for the average Georgian. The people of Georgia take this mandate seriously and feel a strong sense of pride that this island, once the playground of only the richest in the country is now owned by "the plain people of Georgia" as recorded in the Georgia Code. Here is the rub. The Jekyll Island Authority, appointed by Governor Sonny Perdue has begun a beachfront project on part of the 35% of the island which by law can be developed (the remaining 65% must stay undeveloped.) Well, the development proposal put forth by Linger Longer Communites (the wealthy Mercer Reynolds is the company owner and BIG campaign contributor to Perude, former finance chair to George W. Bush and now finance chair for Senator McCain) would have the public beachfront turned into a condo community complete with time shares and a 400 room luxury hotel. (They do plan to build a 125 "economy" hotel at the western most end of the project. Guess what? Linger Longer Communities does not have to buy that pristine oceanfront land. The leases to the Jekyll Island Authority will be paid for by those who buy the condos. Good deal for a developer. Imagine the profit margine...beachfront land you can develop for free! Good-by to affordablity and accessibility. Linger Longer Communities and the Jekyll Island Authority have touted this development to be environmentally friendly yet the JIA did not do environmental impact studies nor did they determine the legal implications of the Shore Protection Act, Marshland and Wetlandds Protection Acts BEFORE issuing an RFP to the developers AND they fought against legislation that would have protected the island's natural assets and maintained accessibility for all to enjoy the beachfront, not just those who can afford the "beach village" proposal. People from all over Georgia, in fact all over the country have joined the Initiative to Protect Jekyll Island (www.savejekyllisland.org) supporting responsible redevelopmeent of the island as opposed to the massive devellopment proposed by the Jekyll Island Authority which will encroach on the public's accessibility to their state park beach, the environmental assets of the island (beach and maritime forest.) Please visit the website to get involved in this important effort. Kevin, You praised the natural beauty of the island. I hope those visiting this site will join in the effort so that natural beauty will be available to all visitors for generations to come. Thank you for the opportunity to share this information with others. Hi Kevin, Yes Jekyll is a remarkably beautiful place and it is a state park!

Unfortunately, there is just as much myth and conspiracy out there, as there is real fact and information. I'm nothing approaching an economist, so I'll leave that commentary to the experts.

Consider all the worthless money they print. It reduces the value of all our money -- inflation. This valueless money is loaned out to people and countries who then become indebted and can lose everything. The interest on this fake money flows by the billions into the accounts of the cartel of bankers who control the purse strings--the federal reserve bank. They will soon own this country, will have to send in UN peacekeepers and will probably loan us some money to save our economy, just like all the other third world countries. Notice even as the third world is unable to service its debt, the US comes to the rescue and pays the bills with our tax money sent straight to the cartel. Clever fellows. They make billions with no investment nor risk of any kind. There’s a lot more to this story. Consider all the worthless money they print. It reduces the value of all our money — inflation.
