I was wondering who was going to build, maintain, and pay the insurance on a race track too. Ideas are a good thing, but you have to have a plan behind some of them.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

How much $ do you need QP. If I fund you and you win...well...let's just say that I'll have your ear OK?
How about we start a PAC on this sight and use the money to endorse candidates we approve of? Let's beat em at their own game!

Same thing I'm wondering Mama. That's what I tried to find out with my post on page 1. So far, this is the best explanation we've got from Mr. Borland.

So... In other words, get elected, and wait for someone to do the things you'd like to see done.
I'm not a big fan of Mayor Eaton, so I don't have any problem with seeing her lose. But when I hear someone explain their platform, I wanna hear some specifics on how they're going to accomplish their goals.

But, how do they know that before they're in office and privy to the details?

So how do you plan to get these business here and also follow the existing city charter?
It not like you can just go to the counsel and say I want 300 grand to open a bar.
You might also want to look at your figures on race tracks. Just because you can bring in 500k at the gate doesn’t mean you will take more then 10% home.
How are you going to manage the day-to-day issues in the city.
I'm just making this up, but for an example:
What if the hospital was pressuring me to sell my house so they could tare it down for parking. What are you going to do to help me.

Bla Bla Bla! We gots this town with youths and a race track and you should come and locate your business here if your going to pay big money and employee at least 300 people.
Ya know, I think you are on to something! Why hasn't anyone tried it before! Just think what you could have done if you finished high school.

I commend Quinsy for asking people what they want. Our current officials don't, and do as they please. I don't believe he should already know before he got this far as someone posted. It should always be an on-going thing and elected officials should never quit asking people what they think. Yah, people are not going to agree on everything and not everyone will be happy with the decisions made. But atleast have an open ear and mind to several opinions and be willing to act for the people who voted for you instead of the few who think they run the town. So thanks for asking Quinsy.
