Clueless....  (by: Dude  -   10/24/2009)

The first four posters (starting at the bottom) obviously don't have all the facts and weren't at the meetings. Especially Sahmeonu. Where are from originally?? The people of Venus are mostly retirees who left the big city to get away from the big town noise and stuff the mercenary center would have brought in. They were here first and no one down in that part of the county wants to hear all that stuff and have planes and helicopters fly over head all day long. Like Napper said, get involved and be heard (ie. complain) or watch from the sidelines and be quiet.

Ray Napper is right, you can site around and complain, or like he says, go get some education for yourself to improve your skills and stop feeling sorry for yourself. No one is going to do it for you. The time for complaining is over, only you can change things for the better, or just site around and blame others for you lack of inititve and stay where you are in life. It is up to you.

where were you people during the meetings. You have the nerve to not go to the meetings and speak in favor of the project and then to get on here and bitch&moan. EXCUSE ME ! Where in the commissioners job description does it say mind reader? You want a better paying job then do what your peers do, get a better education for a higher paying job in a different trade. Do something for yourself without thinking that the government owes you a living. They provide services but babysitting is not included.

All I want to say is, where are the jobs coming from to help this county? If you are on retirement, social security, disability, etc, how are we, the taxpayers, going to pay for you? I am not unsympathetic to your plight, but, the President of the United States can't give us jobs, the Congress can't give us jobs, the local government can't give us jobs, so, County Commission, you are mostly comprised of people who believe in free enterprise, and letting the private sector supply jobs, how many jobs have we just given up? How many local contractors, laborers, engineers, surveyors, have you just given the back door to make a living? Not to mention, the many law enforcement officers we might have taken off the county payroll, to become trainers at this facility. Now, i know most of the Commissioners and I respect them very much. But, I am entitled to my opinion, and I believe we, as Highlands Countyains "dropped" the ball. I know many people will not agree with me, but, somewhere we must begin to bring GOOD paying jobs to this county, not COUNTY paying jobs to this community!!!
