Ol' Loopy Lou, All-Purpose-Toady-to-Power, is at it again.

http://www.tribune-georgian.com/articles/2009/04/01/opinion/letters/01letter4.1.txt Here's a sample of Loopy Lou's latest pearls of wisdom: "If it is moved, is there anyone pushing for the relocation who might not be interested in benefiting St. Marys, but rather his own gain? What amount of taxes would the city lose since the new location is not in city limits? What is the position of the county commissioners? How would this deficit in city tax revenues be replaced? Surely the taxes of all residents would increase since the new airport will be in the county." Uh, Lou, apparently, the city, unlike you, has come to the realization that taxing itself would be rather pointless. Quite the opposite of your illogic, the fact is that putting the nearly 400 acres of prime, centrally located property back into private hands to be developed to its "highest and best" use would actually return it to the city and county tax rolls. The penumbral economic benefits to the local economy woud be huge compared to the current gross underdevelopment and underutilization of the property.
