Top Problems associated with economic development:

  1. Who’s economics are you developing?  Often it is someone already well developed, such as the mayor, board of county commissioners, various elected officials and most often, someone subsidized by the taxpayers and as the result of economic development benefits, now this person and his organization has government standing.  Government agency status is the key to a monopoly in your economic development.  Usually EDC does not allow competition.
  2. Watch for money from tax payers, and government status.  That is the key without ever having to run for elected office.
  3. Sometime this special agency status is called an “Economic Partnership”.  Once dollars exchange hands, a partnership follows from the public’s pocket to the new Economic Partner.
  4. Free enterprise is stopped in its tracks with this new system.
  5. Vote no if anyone wants to create a new socialism in your neighborhood.  That is unles you are the economic partner that now has a stream of income and exclusive rights to what ever it is that you do.  Ocala Economic Partnership is one of these organizations.  Check them out on line.  Marion County Florida, Ocala Economic Partnership.
