This is what we are looking at. Having to rent out our buildings to maintain some sort of income rather than having families or charming shops in them. You have to jump through hoops to open and maintain a business but you can divide a building up and rent to anyone.
I keep saying we need to do more to attract artists and crafters to move here. The property this guy went to is another good location for a shop. It looks like they may have a shop there already with the amount of dope that guy had. We should get them a sign “Heroin Sold Here” so we all know what’s going on there.
I commend our law enforcement for their efforts and am sorry they are endangering themselves with this sort of character. Addiction makes people desperate and crazy. It’s sad all the way around. We really need to get a good plan and some good businesses in our town or this sort of thing will continue get worse.
Our economic development people are not stepping up to the plate. A lot of people are getting good pay and good benefits from the State to move our economy forward. Maybe if their income was a reflection of their success – like it is for a Mom and Pop biz – they would work harder to figure things out. Maybe those sorts of jobs should be eliminated to reduce taxes and let things work more naturally in the private sector.
