Obama's "Cash for Caulkers" idea is a good one. Invest now in making homes more energy-efficient for the future.
Makes a lot of sense.
Greensboro has an opportunity to make an investment, and reap big benefits, in our future: The aquatic center.
Now, I'm the first to admit that Greensboro messed up this thing. They fooled a voting public that doesn't read the fine print by packaging the aquatic center under a parks and rec umbrella on the ballot.
Additionally, we can't ignore the cost overruns of the center.
But we need to close the gap and close this deal. There are many reason to complete this project:
-It adds to our tournament town moniker
-Local swimmers have chance to compete in a top-notch facility in back yard.
-Gate City WILL PRODUCE more Olympic-caliber swimmers.
-Jobs will be created and retained (hotels, restaurants, etc.)
-Hotel tax can help pay for it
-Greensboro will become a better-known destination
Let's invest in our future and build the pool!
