Good luck finding people that want to work. I do not know if there are many there now that understand the concept. I did hear (firsthand) , two teenage girls discussing how many babies they needed to have in order to draw enough money from the government for themselves, so that they did not have to work. Maybe some real education in things that would really be useful would produce graduates that have the knowledge they need to succeed. This does NOT include the Marxist concept of Common Core. Since we now have a President that says he is for putting our country first, some business that produces QUALITY US products would be a good thing IF they could find workers that would take pride in their work. And, one that would be fair and give their employees real incentive for doing a good job. Keep giving handouts........even sparse ones, and it will just me more of the same, and probably worse. For it to turn around, start with teaching residents HOW to succeed, and giving incentives to do so.

What in the world did the Chamber do to influence graduation rates? The Chamber should be put in the same category as the Town of Century, and cease to exist. That way the rate payers and tax payers would save some real money. Let’s add this up, 35 visitors, and 20 part time jobs at the bingo parlor.
