Now the NWI rednecks have truly won. Cabelas is going to come in and replace the Woodmare Country Club. The only winner in all this is the local thieves call the Mcdermotts. The father will be walking away with tones of money that I am sure he will eventually share with the family, i.e. the current Mayor.
I have never seen such a family of users of public positions for their own greed since Pastrick left office. If thee is no law against this kind of behavior there should be.
Cabellas will provide nothing new for NWI except for a bunch of gun totting yahoos of the redneck variety; not that the people of Hammond and Gary are not already there.
The decision to sell the country club is the worst economic development decision so far made in NWI (maybe not, the RDA could be worse). Both do nothing but put money in some people's pockets while providing nothing for NWI or the rest of the State.
How much does everyone think this is going to cost Lake County, Hammond, and the rest of the State in additional "incentives" to get Cabelas here? They have already said the demand a big package. By when is all this going to get paid back?
They are mostly providing low level retail jobs. Even if there reach their optimistic projected sails figures of $100 million that does not stay here very little does.
Cabelas is not even a sports store it is only known for hunting and fishing and in that mostly for clothing.
The joke here again is on the citizens of Hammond and NWI. We have given up on some prime real estate, green space, to enrich the Mcdermott family while we ruin Hammond and really badly effect the value of property in south Hammond and in north Munster, effect down.
It is sad to see the citizens of Hammond and NWI to be too much of a redneck set not to understand how negatively this will effect the quality of life in our area. All the while the new family of corruption the Mcdermotts continue to pocket money.
