The situation is making it harder for our officers to do their jobs.

The only people sure of their jobs are Bill Ford and Mark Fields.

We've gotten 11 companies with a total of close to 800 jobs (since 1998). That doesn't include expansions, either. We're making progress. We've got the parks, and I think we're as prepared as a small community like ours can be.

We are very fortunate a lot of our staff are returning. Several others are leaving the jobs they've had in the interim to come back.

The jobs that have replaced them don't pay as well.

I guess we'll just wait and watch the dust fly. If it does give some people jobs, we need that because they are having some problems.
