Anybody else seen this?

and, while reading today's Eagle's story about tiny Ellsworth's economic development wherein they have captured a helicopter manufacturer:

Helicopter factory to open in Ellsworth - 4/14/2006 01:01 AM CDT

I started wondering when our Citizens for Economic Development will mail us another newsletter telling us about what they are now doing ....

Hey Justin Weil, would you please join in and tell us what your plans are....

FWIW, I don't know Justin Weil or who his other "citizens" are. Or what their plans are to further our economic development.

Very interesting. For a company to start-up paying a lot more than the average wage in the area, they'll be able to pick and choose their employees. I hope they do so carefully. That's gonna be a huge help to economic security in this little town. Not too far from Hays, either.......

Also interesting that it's a firm from Excelsior Springs, MO. I wonder why they chose Kansas instead of Missouri - couldn't have been only the large vacant building. Had to be something else....maybe an educated population or one that really wanted to work for a living? Hmmmm.......
