1) Stanly County ...Jack, you have missed the story.<br />1) Stanly County led by Tony Dennis, Roger Dick and Lindsey Dunevant have spent north of $3m chasing jobs in this fiasco. Not a single new public company has created a single job. The only jobs generated by this misguided crew is for lobbyists and lawyers in Raleigh and Washington DC. Stanly County is now too toxic to compete effectively for new industries to support a an increasingly needy population.<br />2) Stanly County has closed a scholl (last year) and is currently dismantling their school system because they are out of money. The money wasted on the ALCOA farce could be used to buffer the current shortfall until the economy improves and educate children to more effectively compete in the 21st century.<br />3) Jack, you need to lose your tree-hugger attitudes about putative wilderness close to Charlotte and cover this story which about equipping the people of Stanly County for the future instead of providing limousine liberal tripe as you wax poetic over "nature"and the "environment" at the expense of the lives of others.<br />Mack MabryMack Mabrynoreply@blogger.com
