[size 3][black]You hit one major problem with our economy here in this state,
we allow developers to dig out forest and farms to put in new factories when we have thousands of factories that need to come down and be rebuilt,
we give those companies tax breaks on those properties, Why? Wouldn’t it make more sense to except those properties no longer being used as payments in lieu of taxes owed and then resell or give away to other outside companies who want to do business in this state?
At least this way the eye soars will be gone. No one can tell me it is cheaper to build in a new location than it is to rebuild. I see the amount of de-forestation that takes place, then the amount of land that has to be dug up and stabilized before any thing can be built, then the super structure of sewage and electrical has to go in before a new structure has to go up....
well guess what that is the exact same thing that has to be done with all those empty factories still standing all over Michigan’s city sides....[/black][/size]
