Know you have proved once again that you spout crap you cant prove. In the real world if you cant prove it. It didn't happen

Face it, You have lost. You are just beating a dead horse now. I am tired of talking to about this. Lowes is gone and it is academic anyway. Besides it is not my job to educate you.

I don't know. Ask Detroit. I am guess, they are not as smart as I am or have the educational background that I have.

Government cant dictate the legal movement of a private business.

If it could have be done why is Detroit a ghost town?

My argument is that it can be done. Your argument is that it can't. How about you prove me wrong.

The fact is, it has happened. I am not going to do the research just to please you. The web is there and if you are interested, look it up.

Cite me one actual case where the courts have up held a private business being prevented from moving to a new location and I will concede. If not you are full of crap

I admit the county coming up with the money would be a problem. However, every thing I have said is legal and could be done.

No, it is not illegal. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this type of action.

Local governments cant play the stock market with public funds thank goodness

The county could set the price of the stock based on the value of Lowes property. Lowes stock is priced way higher then the actual valued of Lowes property.

Also remember, the county can set the price of the stock.

Bonds. Have you heard of them?

Once the county has controlling interest, they could replace management if they wanted to.

I remember a few years ago Lowes bought back 2.5 billon dollars of their own stock. Does the conunty or city have that kind of loose change around to buy controlling interest?
