Mar 23, 2010 12:09 AM 20 I think that bringing this service to town would put several local companies out of business and more people out of work. I don't think that the City has thought this through. While I do agree that it would be a nice thing to say we have and could potentially bring businesses to town the impact it would have on the current companies that make their money from providing services would be too great.
