Re: “What's Measure N For?”

why don't people just get over the whole anti-big box retail bandwagon, and realize that even large retail stores will boost our economy. even though the merchandise is imported into the county (just like the majority of everything else), obviously the employees who work there are locals, and they spend their money locally as well. why would you complain about paying less for something that is exactly the same brand that is being sold in smaller stores here? it's just ignorance plain and simple. the marina center would be a great addition to this area, a much needed push for growth that Humboldt has been dying for since our logging and trucking industries have been chopped down like they are. if you want to continue living life comfortably, you have to work, and in order to work, you need to stop eliminating jobs in the pursuit of environmental appeasement. the environment here is just fine, it always has been, and it always will be. quit worrying more about trees and animals than humans. just a thought...
