OK, so what do you have to lose by taking the Home Cooking campaign seriously?

Our community is facing a triple whammy: government jobs are being lost, the undersized private sector is losing jobs, and it’s harder to bring new jobs to this community than to find Osama bin Laden.

So a few people got together with Mayor John Marks to talk about how we – that is, the community – could change the last of those three things, or at least get a start at it.

All that is needed are your ideas for things the community can do to create jobs. Now.

Think about this: Tallahassee and Leon County governments; Leon County Schools; media outlets including WCTV, Fox49, WFSU, the Capital Outlook and the Tallahassee Democrat; Capital City Chamber of Commerce; Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce; and the Florida Retail Federation are all working together, collaboratively to generate ideas.

Has that ever happened before on ANYTHING?

All that is asked of you is your ideas.

The concept is this is a very smart and well-educated community (those are not always the same things, as you know). Working together – brainstorming, if you will – maybe something will bubble up and really happen. And so what if does?
