Most folks need to remember that without these brave men and women that we call Police/Firefighters, alot of us would suffer in times of crisis. They sacrifice to be there for us so we all need to support what ever it takes to keep them in our cities and communities!

Back Up and Running... Read More

The committee formed last February is back in action opposing the sales tax issue saying the real core reasons have not been fixed. The key elements to fix the problem have not been addressed and until they are the City of Springfield is sinking in quick sand. Many other issues remain the same like unemployment and an economy still in the tank. Please see the attached flyer and signs samples. The signs are going up and the literature is going out!

FEBRUARY 3 to NOVEMBER 3

From February 3 to November 3 most things have remained the same! The Economy Sucks: A new story in the Business Journal of a report issued to the Springfield Chamber of Commerce on October 14th said: “cities job growth, low wages as Springfield issues”. Mac Holladay, founder and CEO of Atlanta-based Market Street Services Inc. delivered the findings of a competitive analysis of the Springfield-area economic landscape. "Economic development is about creating wealth for people ... we need to be talking about how we're going to get wages up, not keep them down," Holladay said. Another troubling issue, Holladay said, is a "culture of poverty," a situation where families have come to accept poverty. The study shows 2007 poverty rates of 13.7 percent for families and 19.9 percent for children in Springfield. Both rates are the highest of the four communities studied. "With poverty rising - bringing with it a host of social and demographic challenges - and below-average wages forcing some existing and potential residents to choose elsewhere to live, Springfield is struggling to maintain its foothold in the new economy," Holladay wrote in the study's conclusion.
There is a direct connection between new jobs, higher wages, and economic development to the police-firefighter pension shortfall. When the citizens receive more income they and/or their families will spend more which in turn will lead to higher sales tax revenue for the City which is what can be used to pay on or pay off the pension fund. The City was to produce an economic development plan as required by the state audit and still none has been made public. The City has extra money for job training right now and the SBA has 2 billion worth of grants for small companies working in new technologies. The Office of Technology administers the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program awarding $2 billion to small high-tech businesses. Changing the second industrial park to a technology park in name and concept would open up opportunities for companies to apply for these grants. The one issue that clearly remains the same is people are still hurting.
