- Older Americans vs Illegal Aliens
- Thomson preparing to leave Nevada County?
• This from a correspondent. Hard to believe that this will actually become a reality, but stranger things have happened.
“5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused.
We are NOT going to grant them an extension.
However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL(English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc.”
• Thomson is selling the GV tech center site as reported in the breaking story from Russ Steele's NC Media Watch. While other reasons are possible, our political leadership should take the most likely interpretation that Thomson is preparing to pull stakes. This is a bad time to be selling any real estate, and if leaving is not a viable alternative being considered, then there would be no reason not to hold on until the market improves. Thomson is a multi-national electronics giant for whom cash from a crash sale should not be a critical part of their plan forward. There should be a full court press on the county’s part to discover the true reasons for this and consider them seriously as we go forward (some day) with our own economic development plan. Stay tuned to Russ as he ferrets out the substance here.
