    Up here we have some millionaire asshole who owns 5,000 acres between where we live and Marquette. He is trying to sell it to a developer who wants to create a vertical rocket launch site there. The property used to have a working farm. It also includes two world-class trout streams (the Little and Big Garlic Rivers) that empty into the Lake. It is pristine, mostly wilderness. The developer has already indicated that it won't employ more than perhaps a dozen FT workers, most of them maintenance and/or security.

    We belong to group opposing this project. I wrote to our state rep., who is Republiqan. He never even bothered to respond with a form letter. It's not a partisan issue. In fact, many of the ppl who would have to evacuate down there during a launch are wealthy and Republiqan too -- and *they* oppose it as well.

    You are the one who wanted machines to draw districts so they would be "fair."

    "that is irrelevant to the question I was asked and answered.....you know if a district has been drawn fairly when human input is eliminated.......in all other cases it is gerrymandered...."

    No he doesn't, but our local (R) state rep., Greg Markanen, sure does since the rocket group is seeking state funding. He's the one who never responded.

    BTW, our township is 100% against the project and has refused to zone it "heavy industrial." But the county could override that.
