Dictos on jobs


question: 
How would you generate more jobs in Fresno County?
answer: 

Education is the foundation for future jobs.

Again we have our priorities sort of screwed up. We, Fresno County, encourage housing development which gobbles up valuable farm land and worsens air pollution. And now we have fallen under the spell of the subprime witch. Jobs can only be produced by investment in productive assets. We need assembly plants, packaging plants, electronic businesses. Rather than having developers knocking at our Hall of Records doors, I would like to see the likes of Bill Gates and Larry Ellison coming to us to discuss new electronic plants for Fresno County. But we will not get the likes of Gates and Ellison, unless we address the dreary condition of our educational system.
