am I wrong in saying that this (Hello port) is going to happen regardless of what the politicians do or say? It seems that if the past is any indicator that they are just delaying it and possibly losing money that could be gained and used to better the community or pad the pockets of the very people who are voted in to make the decisions around here. It is my understanding that the U.S. will be here for an indefinite time so why not capitalize off of it ?
