I believe the correct term is 'BOHICA' or better known as "Bend over, here it comes again". Oh, wait, maybe that's my work motto.... Sorry for the confusion

Recent newspaper articles stated these jobs will pay between $8 and $15.

An even bigger concern is the fact that taxpayers are paying around $1 million to create each and every one of these jobs, plus a substantial annual subsidy.

The problem that I see, especially for people outside the county, is that employees will have to pay for parking. With the pay scale any where from 8 to 15 bucks an hour, paying for parking everyday just isn't feasible. At least city residents can walk and save the parking fee.

Thanks for info Artie. I have long wondered exactly what the plan was with the Convention Center or Lancaster City economic development in general. I would support a plan that would bring good paying jobs to Lancaster City. Hopefully this would encourage people to move to Lancaster City to be closer to their job. And people with good paying jobs could upgrade their homes and the community generally. This in turn could bring in people from the suburbs to shop and go to restaurants.

But rather than having local people with decent paying jobs be the primary support of upscale shopping and restaurants, the mayor seems to want to depend on the suburbs. The mayor's vision seems to be a City populated with low paying service workers, who will work in shops and restaurants supported by the suburbs. I think the mayor has this wrong. The City population should be affluent enough to support upscale shopping and restaurants, which would then draw suburban customers.

That is a VERY astute observation. I hadn't thought of it.

Thank you VERY much!
