Aren jobs and progress desirable?
Yes, that is why the ITA uses the rhetoric of “jobs” and “economic progress” to try to sell the Transpark. The reality is any jobs created will draw away those already employed in surrounding counties, and reduce their local contribution. The ITA portrays opponents as “no growth extremists”. In fact, many opponents are in favor of responsible economic growth, but the Transpark is an impractical self-serving boondoggle, not a legitimate market-based initiative.
