What can local officials do to spur economic development in the Slate Belt?You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
The funny thing is Angle voted against the Bond issue that created this opportunity. He has never been one to let principals get in the way of his ego.
ReplyDeleteIt's election time.
ReplyDeleteI see Angle was very well behaved at the meeting. No ranting, no raving, no snide comments, no GEO/prison comments and how the "want nots" were just "uniformed", etc. Is that his pre-election persona?
ReplyDeleteAngle has worked actively on slate belt economic development, and for years before he was on council.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we know, that's why it is time for a change.
ReplyDeleteHe still voted against the biggest economic incentive ever put forth for the slate belt.
ReplyDeleteHe has preached for many years and bought up land but hasn't really done anything.
He voted against the ridiculous $111 MM megabond, which has fallen far short of the 30,000 jobs promised, but will cost taxpayers a quarter billion dollars.
ReplyDeleteHe was involved in the formation of the Bangor Area School District Economic Development Authority. His work attracted Ultra-Poly Corp. to the Slate Belt.
Everybody has to beat on Ron Angle. Who else is spearheading any economic development?

Lol, you call it spearheading? After how many years? How much economic development did he muster up in all those years? Who would want to even do business with him? Time for change.
