Editorial questions Lawrence policy on attracting industry
The editorial criticizes Lawrence for hindering new jobs by prioritizing high wage, high quality industries and limiting incentives, while major firms like Russell Stover and Wal Mart consider Abilene and Ottawa. It argues city commissions and Horizon 2020 officials disparage minimum wage and blue collar jobs, risking growth and tax revenue needed for services and university-city status. The piece urges a friendlier, more proactive stance to attract employers and create jobs.
