Athol CENTER: Wrong priority for NIC

Sunday’s editorial regarding the proposed events center was spot on. Kudos and thank you to whomever the author is. It is a bold stance The Press is taking and one most likely to be unpopular with many of the movers and shakers in the Cd’A community.

Just in case you did not see this in the Statesman, take a look http://www.idahostatesman.com/2013/07/18/2658830/in-idaho-labor-shortage-hurts.html. I trust the decision makers at NIC will be taking note of these lost employment opportunities too as they are considering the priority they appear to be placing on an events center over providing a skilled workforce.
