Champaign County Local Food Policy Council--Reminder

This is a REMINDER that the deadline to be considered for this council is fast approaching.  The application DEADLINE is 27 April; this coming Friday. The online application can be found on the county web site. (See below for all of the detailed information.) UNFORTUNATELY, the application can not be submitted electronically so give yourself time to mail it in. This appointments are scheduled to be made at he 24 May county board meeting. To be part of the first county residents to be appointed to the council is an exciting opportunity to expand economic development opportunities within the county.

Here is the detailed information.

After the CB meeting when the resolution was passed, a fellow CB member pointedly made this challenge--that there will be no farmers interested in this council. Turning this challenge into an opportunity, I am writing to encourage all who are interested in local foods to submit an application for appointment to the council. The opportunities for what the council can accomplish will be limited only by the imaginations of those appointed. Application deadline is 27 April and the CB will approve the appointments to the council on 24 May.

All of the necessary information to apply for the council can be obtained here

Evaluation of tax breaks' effectiveness

Thanks for posting the Crain's article. I have been writing about this topic for years as have other researhers. Not only from the perspective of effectiveness, bu also that the entities that use these incentives do not research whether there is a positive economic return rate. Maybe now that this has appeared in Crains more people will pay attention and ask hard questions as to the value to communities. One more time I recommend Greg Leroy's book, The Great American Jobs Scam.  http://www.greatamericanjobsscam.com/
