I have no particular political ax to grind and am fairly <br /> apolitical. I watch year after year as our economy stagnates. <br /> There is no industry and agriculture appears to be the future of <br /> the island economy. I sure don't see industry Coming here or <br /> taking us Seriously! <br /> I think it is important that local government take Steps to <br /> facilitate the creation of new jobs and to expand the economy. <br /> Such a facility, in the long run, would allow us to move fruit <br /> off island and develop mainland/overseas markets. <br /> You can build in sufficient controls to be sure the <br /> investment is economically sound one but don't kill it. <br /> ~ry Tr y ,'ours, <br /> I <br /> D U LAS L.
