Rich: If I understand you correctly, you'd favor a casino that would send its money outside the local area, that would attract crime, prostitution, drugs and all the other wonderful extras over a clean biomass power plant that would invest millions of dollars into the local economy, provide 40 direct, hundreds of indirect honest jobs and that would work with the city to ensure its best interests are met?
I apologize for the run-on, but come on now...
Daydream time is over, its time to get Berlin to work. Berlin's skilled workforce are not blackjack dealers, rich, but I believe they would feel right at home at a power plant.
The time to discuss alternatives to Laidlaw is over. Laidlaw's permit applicaiton is coming, and with that will be their EFSEC permit... then construction begins.
Tick tock.
Cheers rich
