I am now hearing it is a "Big R" store, similar to Rural King, but a family owned business based in Illinois. If this is true, we might be looking at a hair splitting situation where no, Rural King has shown known interest is the truth, but no one has asked about "Big R". It really doesn't matter, the mayor and Amos can kick the legs out from any deal, with the council never being the wiser, if it is not to their liking.
What I want to know is why were there no Economic Development meetings for several months?
And what the hell is going on in the ones from October till now? NOTHING, there is no explanation of what James Amos is doing, no follow up on any prior work on his part, nothing. No discussion of anything other than that stupid cell tower and the new city brochure. This kid is floundering, he is in over his head, he's trying to do a job he has no education for, nor any experience in. All because he was recommended to Ed Hagnauer by Ferry. AND IT IS NOT WORKING! Just like it didn't work with Ferry.
And why is he negotiating anything?
So how about we start asking about a "Big R" store, instead of a Rural King. Is there something to this? Someone has looked at the KMart building, was it "Big R"? We will probably never know.
