Similar point is the Lakes Region Conservation Trust which raised millions from the public to purchase the Castle in the Clouds, then shut off a large portion of the snowmobile trails that have been in operation for decades and maintained by the state, denying the very funders of this purchase the enjoyment of it.

Promise 'em anything to get cash or laws passed, then do what you want, regardless of what you promised. Sounds like the political climate of today.
