I just read a thing about SyberJet locating in Cedar City Utah. Congrats to Cedar City, but here’s the dilemma I see in Idaho.
Idaho could have just as easily had that assembly plant of business and luxury aircraft as Utah . Yet like all too many things jobs, tax revenue, and all goes south. Question becomes , why? Could it be Idaho, is satisfied with the lowest wages in America, that are not much more if anywhere near minimum wage. Idaho is satisfied with the youth moving out of state, to find sustaining incomes and jobs. Let alone the educational attributes that Utah has, although the pupil to teacher ratio is Idaho’s favor , still one needs to think, are we really satisfied?
Then I see where Times News staffers have personal blogs on the papers site. Here’s a suggestion there Times News, how about putting in quality blogs of your readers?
Open communication done in proper or even a bit critical form, is just not welcome. After all, don’t want to piss off the stockholders.
Just like so much of Idaho.
I saw this right after Dirk Kempthorne left office as Governor.
Dirk had the spirit of real growth. The state had a funds surplus, instead of so much a deficit and debt.
Seems as all too many in Idaho are satisfied to remaining in the 19th century somewhere than advancing to modern 21st century technology, new jobs and even out of the box ideas, and enterprises. The thought of a Nuke power plant near Hammett Idaho made all too many thinking that the radioactive water would make their new born kids and cattle become little green three headed monsters. So it was ultimately defeated. Instead of looking at the concept of a jobs incubator that it could have been. Nope can’t have that. Then there was that outfit in Goon’s Ferry that was working to set up shop turning algae into diesel fuel, that too got killed. I say damn it Idaho wake up, your state is eroding faster than a ditchbank in a mud storm.
In the words of Major Payne, What we need is an attitudunal adjustment , more like a proverbial ball bat up side the head.
