it seems like just certain companies seek out Quinn and Madigan to get massive tax breaks even though they have record profits. one company in particular is ADM which makes record profits every year but asks for a tax break from the state. At least 43 percent of ADM's annual profits are from products heavily subsidized or protected by the American government.

So I just got some interesting info in regards to Tractor Supply...It's the lease that's still held by Sears Holdings/K-Mart that is delaying Tractor Supply...Apparently it has to do with the parking lot that is 90% empty 100% of the time...The lease is until 2016, which is down right ridiculous... So Sears Holdings/K-Mart cost many locals their jobs, and is now in a position to prevent new ones from coming to town...Effed up...

Why don't they give up the lease? I don't see why not when someone else wants it

you would think if tractor supply was serious about this project they would have done their homework before announcing they were coming to town.

Why don't they give up the lease? I don't see why not when someone else wants it I've got people looking into whether Sears Holdings is writing that lease off as "bad debt"...If so, it could get quite interesting... The thing is, why close K-Mart so early into such a lease when they were, in fact, still making money?...Their numbers were averaging the same as WalMart when the closure was announced...Streator could have easily supported BOTH stores, and did just that...A bunch of BS...

Next mayor should get the workers for the city on the ball to get the job done. But the mayor should also combine a very nice warm smile with comedian to it. A sence of humor What would life be WITHOUT....... H U M O R ?

I know I am nostalgic, but bring back Top Save and Hornsby's. Add Miller's Cigar store to that wish list.
