<<A carplant was deciding whether or not to put a plant here a few years ago. One of the key issues was whether or not there were enough qualified workers. It was a sticky point because it was hard to promise it. Gladly, the plant came and is doing well, providing some very decent jobs for people.>> You are lucky. We got a car plant and it has brought many problems. This area is now running out of water. I'm ok for now but some day they will start sinking wells. <<Ride the backroads sometime. Don't look at the bucolic splendor, or think how quaint and old-fashioned. Talk to the kids who are in the eight-grade at 15 and dropped out by 16. Look at the leaks in their roofs. The teeth that are rotting and will not get fixed.>> You're talking Illinois 30 years ago and still some river towns. Even those poor towns have some incredible wealth. I don't have the answers to poverty, rural or urban. If I did I'd be running for the presidency. It does seem like parts of Alabama have worked their way up. Montgomery looked good. Pockets of poverty but Lincolns on the road like a plague.
