Nuke plant a bad idea

Dear editor:

Remember the guy in the suit? Well, he's back in the commissioners' office and states:

There are a few I neglected to mention when I was here last.

1. You will need to secure a large tax increase to your county citizens for the needs of my private endeavor.

2. I will pay no taxes for seven or more years which would normally support your commitment to new roads, schools, hospitals, etc., therefore they would remain as your burden long after I am gone with my employees.

3. Only a limited number of jobs I might provide would go to your county citizens as my needs are too specialized for "ordinary" people.

4. I will not provide a bond guaranteeing completion of my project as it would be too costly to me.

5. I am required to provide a new development agreement and plans which I expect your county to provide at no cost to me.

Now whaddaya say folks?

You tell me!
