Special Board of Aldermen Meeting Page 7
March 21, 2016
because employers can’t find the skilled workers they need then we can ignore that but | don’t think that’s the
vision we want to see for our community.
President McCarthy
To me this slide and the one about the main stream job creation says to me that what we are seeing now is an
influx of people who are different in appearance, language and culture from the people who sit around this
horseshoe but common in the goal of hard work and creatively will create individual and community prosperity.
| think it’s imperative that we capitalize on that. At some point | want to retire into a community that will stay in
the manner of which | have become accustomed and somebody else is going to have to pay for that and that’s
going to have to be the next generation of entrepreneurs and business people who bring prosperity to the
community. | think it’s in our own enlightened self-interest to make sure that that pool of resources that can
produce community prosperity is unburdened and able to do so. | want to thank the panel for coming in and
doing the presentation and please keep in touch with the Board and let us know what else we can do to help.
