I was really hoping when the last kid left that we would have hired a true economic developer. That person needs to be well versed in TIF financing, corporate growth trends, out city's demographics and comprehensive plan.
I think, from what' I've seen, we took a step backward and hired a part time wanna be minister instead of a professional EC. In my opinion, can him and save the money. Mayor Ed is probably better versed on such matters and if no, I know the city has a great attorney staff.
