And by WE I mean the people who live here, not the DCEDI board and their backers.<BR/>Branding ourselves as a perfect place to play or fun not far or having rural atmosphere or as a gambling mecca may be hard to sell to a public that has been oversold and overhyped. How do you trust what you hear in ads? Look at Argosy ads and then go there. Do they even LOOK the same?<BR/>Maybe we need to get REAL.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186416294764582727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359832.post-22335889893812043612008-06-07T12:36:00.000-04:002008-06-07T12:36:00.000-04:00IT is becomming more and more difficult to shove a...IT is becomming more and more difficult to shove aside our undereducated self seeking politicians aside given two things:<BR/>1. The Blog has been crippled by an enterprising, county line to county line asphalt devotee, who is afraid to identify himself <BR/><BR/>2. Register Publications seems to be converting it's editorial page into something resembling cards of thanks and calssified. The editor seemingly will publish anything critical of the DCDEI of which he is a member, or critical of the two Commish handmaidens of the C of C and the DCDEI as he is in seeing Fox and Hughes defeated in the November election.<BR/><BR/>Think of Messmore's inexcusable "mistake" in quoting Indiana Code. The newspaper will not correct this and will not publish letters correctly quoting the Indiana Code in regard to Police offiers presence at Commish meeting.<BR/><BR/>Anything goes from here on. The taxpayers are the ticket to no risk wealth schemes for the poltical class of Dearborn County. <BR/><BR/>It is going to be difficult to get out the word that the North West Quadrant is in the cross hairs of the rich and powerful. IT is going to be difficult to explain once again the evils of TIFs. IT is going to be difficult to restrain subdivision development which will flood our schools, and overwhelm the police and fire departments <BR/><BR/>Lastly our elected officials appoint to important <BR/>committees OUT OF STATE people, such as an insurance salesman from Cincinnati to the Sewer board.

His prime qualification for any of these positions is political influence. He has little business experience. If this county is to "move forward" the politcal hacks need to be pushed aside.Robert Bissetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541912525669351401noreply@blogger.com
