(Douglas Hook \/ The Republican)Douglas Hook<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"UHBW6QHQSVFF3ACLGE6ATYEBKQ\">AGAWAM \u2014 Don\u2019t think of the $100,000 being transferred to the municipal golf course as a subsidy, city councilors urged this month. Think of it as an investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BM43VZCNPZH6NMPMRY2HNAESGE\">\u201cWe\u2019re giving ourselves a loan,\u201d said Councilor Robert E. Rossi, before joining an 11-0 vote to use that sum from the town\u2019s general capital fund to help pay for a new fleet of golf carts at the public course in Feeding Hills. Rossi added: \u201cNo taxpayer is going to pay for something that\u2019s supposed to be self-sustaining, which the golf course is. It\u2019s self-sustaining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--center skimlinks\">If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
