Even better than the apparent tax revenue and economic spinoff from having a new employer in town is that this project, if it goes through, will result in absolutely ZERO new students in our school system.

I’m sorry Bill, but you are the one missing the point. Those veterans served at grave consequence to themselves *precisely* so that privileged Decatur folk could exercise their God and Constitutionally given right to bitch and moan about whether or not projects such as this will financially benefit them

Yep, but better facilities is a start. I wish we had the political will.

The article says nothing about better service for veterans. It’s going to take more than new digs to get that–a massive dose of political and administrative will.

Get a grip people! This is not about whether or how much in taxes, but about providing service and benefits to a group of individuals deserving of such for their service to our country. We need to only read the headlines to understand the difficulties now encountered by our veterans in getting timely and quality medical care. If this planned facility can ease the strain on current VA facilities, then it will be a blessing. Go for it!
