Kohl's Department Stores Looking To Open Shop In Columbia County, FL?

As long as they bring jobs that pay better then all these other companies around here, then it wouldn't be such a bad idea... If not, they need to kick rocks. Too many people in this county are over worked and still struggling to keep a roof over their heads and a meal on the table because of the lack of hours and most of all, their wages. We need companies that aren't stingy with pay, hours, or respect for their employees. Its those same companies that will be begging for tax exemptions from our county. Just like Target Corporation asked our county for a property tax exemption a couple months ago. These companies hire a fist full of people and treat them like dirt. I know I'm not the only one in this county that has experienced, witnessed, or know people that have been taken advantage of as employees for any of these corporations around here. I understand that most of the businesses around here are franchises, but the treatment is still the same. If we leave these types of decisions to "The Good Ole Boys" we will be doomed. The people that run this county need to set a higher standard for these multi-million dollar companies that look to open up for business here in our county. All of the major companies in this town are sucking from the Government tit, while the rest of the people that make the companies money are struggling so badly, that there are more and more people applying for government assistance. And once they apply then they're in the line of fire from the people that aren't struggling. Like being called lazy, and yelled at to get a job. We allow for this to take place in our county? Its time for this county to set a higher standard for these companies. We need politicians that aren't all about the money, status quo, and only for what suits their best interest. We need to suit the best interests of the citizens of this great county. 51% rules in a TRUE DEMOCRACY!!! ~ Kyle Rasmussen
