They are not building it to satisfy a "gumba" or any other idiotic suggestion that you folks have made.  They
build new branches to make money ...  PERIOD   END OF STORY.

Your ethnic slur is not appreciated and has no place in the context of this or any other discussion. I find it personally offensive !

Dont be offended....I am a gumba...teabagger/gumba    

I am offended by this specific hypocrite that feels he has the right to make such comments when he purports to be above it all.  He cries about name calling, when he does it more than anyone on the board. Watch, he'll come back on this and say it's his right, freedom of speech, and if I don't like it it's my problem (like he has done so many times before).  He feels empowered by hiding in cyberspace.

who are you offended by?....

What don't you understand about what I said ??      You think that some out of state bank is going to
build a branch in Rotterdam just because Metroplex asked ???   No .. they built it because they did their
research and expect that it will be a profitable location.

The question I would like answered is if this same bank would agree to come and buy land and build a bank at this same location if the Metroplex didn't promise tax dollars for free, either in the elimination of the old building that was at this location or for tax breaks when the building is built?  And if the tax breaks are only for a certain amount of time, how long after these tax breaks are gone should we expect the bank to stay?  And what type of business would look into moving into a building that used to be a bank?  You don't usually see one bank buying out another one.

entertaining....I never thought there were "educated" people in the world that cannot read; cannot address the questions they are asked; twist things around and skirt every "correction" (of which there are many).  I was watching the morning shows today and they referenced Sarah Palin and her inability to "put it in reverse"....she will never admit error, apologize or address the errors or miscues and misstatements.....so I guess this human failure knows no party boundry!  I don't know how to word this any simpler so that "no reason" can understand it.....sorry!

gotcha.....and yes neither party is privy to 'the disease'.......

metroplex's need for min wage job creation centers around

self preservation,  almost all the projects center around "SALES TAX"

which makes me wounder why the county isn't covered in new/used car dealers

sales tax from dollar stores and the likes....and from gin mills

First - I notice that you have never objected when others have used the word in their posts.  So I find your
indignation more than a bit hypocritical now.

Second - I used the word ONLY because another poster claimed that the bank was built to satisfy the
"gumbas".
