I think we should knock down any building over 25 years old...all of them. Make nice metal pole barns to replace them and then I think if there is grass or hay or corn showing up out of the ground we should use as much poison as possible to eliminate it. Let's make Dearborn County the place that Hughes and Fox want. It will create jobs, jobs, jobs! Bulldozers, poison control and bland nasty buildings with no one occupying them. Has anyone looked at US 50? Buildings are empty everywhere but we need more empty buildings so we can have shovel ready sites so the inner circle can line their pockets.
