    How Not to do Economic Development

    Free Buffalo's 14th policy study, "Bass Pro and Buffalo: How Not to do Economic Development" is online.

    Not another skewed "study".

    Its already been proven that Free Bluffalo wants all the credit, but cant stand to be critiqued.

    right from the very begining of reading:

    Some of these people and institutions have managed, however, to appear to be bringing something new to the table, as opposed to those bad old political and economic actors responsible for the long checklist of major project errors over the last four decades. In fact, nothing important has changed.
    This sounds opinionated and the rest of the report contains a whole lot more of the same Free Bluffalo slant.

    We were lied to about Bass Pro spending $57 million. Free Buffalo exposed the lie. Is that an opinion?

    We were lied to about having a locally-controlled waterfromt commission. Free Buffalo exposed that lie to. Is that an opinion?

    Basically, as usual, there is no actual argument in your post.

    except for the fact of free bluffalo slant in the reports & studies.

    The question in that debate is: what is to be done now? As I made abundantly clear in my book, Political Class Dismissed, and more recently in Free Buffalo’s plan (1) to reverse our decline, ....

    (1) drastically reduce taxes
    this quote makes the bass pro report as personal opinion.

    there were far more ppl discussing bass pro's angle of tax incentives before your skewed report.

    the only thing free bluffalo has "exposed" is your libertarian spin.

    Sorry lady, no one was talking about the $35 million lie but us. We even got criticized for it.

    http://forums.speakupwny.com/archive...hp/t-3460.html

    In fact, even before the memorandum of understanding was published, I smelled a rat and said so on this very site--

    http://www.speakupwny.com/article_1680.shtml

    ********

    And your hero Brian Higgins was talking about the need for a locally-controlled committee.

    FB exposed that canard as well.

    You're welcome.

    it doesnt matter how much is (so called) "exposed" - ppl will look at how its presented. if its spun to a libertarian agenda.... no matter what is said it wont matter. You really should listen to more than the FB suck-ups on this site.... theres a vast population out there in the REAL world, you know.

    How do you manage to post so much without actually saying anything? That can't be easy.

    funny, I have always wanted to ask the same of you.

    this is good advice im giving you:

    • ppl will look at how its presented
    • if its spun to a libertarian agenda.... no matter what is said it wont matter.
    • You really should listen to more than the FB suck-ups on this site
    • theres a vast population out there in the REAL world


    a last one piece of the same advice

    • take it for what its worth


    if you want to make Free bluffalo better, lower your guard a little so that you can actually "see" what ppl throw your way from time to time. not everything i say is in a negative reply if only you can visualize just a wee bit.

    blah blah blah
    I think I've found the answer to woodstock's brilliant posts.
    It was on snoopy.com
    Woodstock is the smallest of the Peanuts characters but has a big presence for a little bird. He's a little inept, his flying and logic are erratic . . .
    The path is clear
    Though no eyes can see
    The course laid down long before.
    And so with gods and men
    The sheep remain inside their pen,
    Though many times they've seen the way to leave.
