About a year ago a group of non-smokers migrated away from the decade old coffee shop.\u00a0 I had left a few months before and just did not go to any Saturday morning coffee establishment.\u00a0 someone started going to McDonalds and after a few months there was a group of 5-10 people regularly attending.\u00a0 The group is mixed – A military contractor, a retired PhD professor, an inventor, a retired engineer, a retired sherrif\u00a0and sometimes myself.\u00a0 The conversations vary widely and rarely cover religion or partisan politics.\u00a0 My usual attendance period is about two hours or 1 cup of coffee.<\/p>\n
The big deal in our county now is whether a Casino should be allowed in the county and where it should be built.\u00a0 I have heard the Governor has stated he does not want it in the NE county.\u00a0 Since this county has not elected a Democrat to any significant office in 100 years I guess he will probably gets his way.\u00a0 However, the consensus of the group is that it would probably be a good thing – 300 direct jobs and 600 or so more service industry jobs.\u00a0 That would increase our tax-base considerably via food, hotel and other shopping plus the income taxes.\u00a0 since the road infrastructure already exists in the “Outlet Mall” area not much roadway expense or other infrastructure would have to be built.<\/p>\n
Who knows what will happen?\u00a0 I am sure the money will be passed around and it will happen if approached from the correct angle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
