Lowe's in the Mail

My support for the annexation is well known, however I must comment on the nice card I received in the mail from Lowe's. To Kerry Bensman's point, how do we know much tax revenue they will produce? Even as a supporter, Lowe's blanket assertion of $1 million sounds fantastic and baseless at the same time. I'm willing to believe their contribution will be closer to that than not, however I'm going on gut feelings. Plus, a sales-tax generator is better for the city in the long run as opposed to a development weighted more towards residential units. So the amount isn't what I'm focused on.

Note: The most recent three comments on the annexation post below were all released by me at the same time; Kerry's comments to Alex do not take into account Alex's comments from this morning. (To avoid the delayed approval, don't forget direct access is avalable - email me!)
