"Yes, we need jobs--but not the jobs other cities don't want and not minimum wage jobs, and not jobs that pollute the water and increase taxes."
Do you think the ethanol plant is going to pay minimum wage? pollute the water? raise your taxes?
Even if they did pay mini wages, is that not better than NO wages. If you don't have a job, even a minimum wage job in manufacturing is a starting point to learn job skills and increase your employability to others. Everything I have read is that this is going to be high tech venture and I am sure it will pay better than mini wage.
And you using the pollute the water argument just shows ignorance and arrogance. The water is already being 'polluted' at times. So should all Dadeville residents move away so the treatment plant won't ever be overloaded again? It has been happening for years and you didnt even know it, so it obviously did GREAT HARM! Now that you do know, all progress should just stop?
And the raising taxes argument is even more ignorant. Please explain to me how providing jobs will raise your taxes. I seem to remember from economics that when you raise the tax base, it raises tax revenues. More income means more money spent = greater taxes collected.
And if you think the Hispanics would have to be 'imported' to accomplish any task, then you obviously have NEVER been to Alex City. Or any other town in America for that matter.
It seems to me that there are some folks who once they achieve their 'dream', all progress should stop. No more growth, no more development, no more anything!! I've got mine so all yall can go pound sand!!
