I'm not though. It just so happens that I am truly interested in Mike's idea of what constitutes economic development, and how it can be accomplished. As a candidate, perhaps you should be interested in his opinion too!barrandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922945903241326371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-63799773545979220392007-11-04T12:51:00.000-05:002007-11-04T12:51:00.000-05:00Wikipedia is NOT an authoritive source, since anyo...Wikipedia is NOT an authoritive source, since anyone can edit it. <BR/><BR/>In two days I will take down the candidate info links. But since Mike Sylvester is not running for office this year, you should be more concerned with what the candidates think than what he thinks.<BR/><BR/>The state legislature might be willing to allow a casino if the mayor and city council lobby for it. For some reason riverboat gambling seems to be more acceptable than gambling on dry land.

These people need to get a clue... They also need to stop calling new strip malls on the edges of Fort Wayne and projects like Harrison Square economic development."<BR/><BR/>Wikipedia says:<BR/>"The term "economic development" is often used in a regional sense ... (e.g., a mayor might say that "we need to promote the economic development of our city"). In this sense, economic development focuses on the recruitment of business operations to a region, assisting in the expansion or retention of business operations within a region or assisting in the start-up of new businesses within a region."<BR/><BR/>If Wiki is right, Mike is wrong.gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-5686850519829147462007-11-04T11:07:00.000-05:002007-11-04T11:07:00.000-05:00Mike,I'd like to explain economic development and ...Mike,<BR/><BR/>I'd like to explain economic development and your plan to implement that in Ft. Wayne. It's easy to criticize, it's harder to come up with tangible solutions. I'm not criticizing here, I honestly want to know. Please don't tell me casino...or if you do, please explain a legal and viable way to do it. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you could post your ideas permanently on the right side of your blog (replace candidate info), because I'm sure this isn't the first time this request has been made. <BR/><BR/>-mabbarrandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922945903241326371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-90337400831627213912007-11-03T19:45:00.000-04:002007-11-03T19:45:00.000-04:00Agree, but sadly some that are in office are a tad...Agree, but sadly some that are in office are a tad better then those running against them.<BR/><BR/>But do get out and vote.J Q Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524418780704474919noreply@blogger.com
