Hey, I noticed this blog was very quiet when the chamber of commerce study came out last week.

My understanding is that the body in question was already on record as being ‘pro’ before the study was commissioned. It makes the neutrality of the research suspect.

The GB chamber is a joke, a total joke. I never take ANYthing they do seriously. And neither should anyone. Even conservatives.
I love how people jump all over me when I don’t post as much, oh, it must be because of this, or that. No, people, it’s called being busy. I’m too busy right now to lambaste (which is what I would be doing) the Chamber study. I’m sure it’s full of holes but I don’t have time, I have to run my business too.
Sorry if I sound snappy, but I have a headache, I’m fighting with some advanced code which won’t behave, and now my character’s being impugned to boot.

Hey, I’m the farthest thing from conservative.

Then you should be doubly skeptical of anything the Chamber puts out!

Casinos, I just can’t seem to get excited one way or the other. The only thing I know for sure is if the legislature is involved it’s gonna be all screwed up. Lived here too many years to believe differently.

I really liked the first minute of the clip, but when he starts doing the racing voice it kind of drags. Might have been better as two different spots.
