Now this is a great showdown. Keep on your toes. The only thing that does not make sense to me is that if Anthrex is providing high paying jobs it should not have a problem attracting 50 machinists jobs. Did I lose something in the translation?

But I do not want to diminish the fact that Jackson Labs without a business plan has all the backing of Collier County but Anthrex with a record of performance is an orphan.

Keep your eyes wide open, because everyone is looking for incentives and the county is choosing who is the winner. I vote for Anthrex just because it has a business plan with a record of performance.

The Jackson Lab deal looks like a land deal with the county providing the grease to quiet squeaky land owners.

Citizens must be vocal and loud to stop this madness.

Arthrex would like to expand more locally but the Barron Collier Family is even keeping them from buying a lot for sale next to Arthrex's Manufacturing building. Arthrex needs to build a parking garage because they have no more room for parking to hire more employees! Arthrex offered them their asking price and they said no. Talk about dirty politics! I'm not surprised Arthrex is mad.
