$20 mil for trees and a water treatment plant.
But another $6 mil for turning that into drinkable water.
I see most of that 20M going into pockets.
Water treatment plants in my shire here cost $4.5m and feed 60,000 homes.
So what are they going to spend the rest of the 20mil on?
Trees?
Timber Mansions more like it.
