So the line goes, “I don’t like incentives, BUT. . . (insert absurd statement here)” Imagine telling your kids that about drug use, “I don’t like illegal drugs, BUT. .. ” This could go on. But here’s a reminder about the TRUE situation in Cumberland County outside the world of Goodyear.
The Fayetteville-Cumberland County BRAC Project Committee is trying to
lure new residents to the area. The relocation of the commands by 2011,
along with military growth and reorganization, could bring as many as
45,000 new residents to the 11-county area surrounding the post.
That doesn’t sound like a cry for incentives or assistance from the taxpayers of NC. Funny that BRAC was never part of the discussion.
