Looks like South County came through on Seaton. It makes a good case for separating LC into 2 separate counties because northern county does not represent the south county residents. As far as I'm concerned let every city whose borders begin north of the Borman be Lake County and everything else the new county. It's one thing to be pro-Democrat based on issues. Quite another to be a blind tool.
At least Hammond had competitive races. Ok fine, you lose you lose. But looking at the lopsided results in Gary, East Chicago, and Whiting even in the Seaton race I am now convinced that anyone who willingly chooses to live there is dumber than a pet rock.
I will be closing out my remaining business concerns in LC because short of dividing the county it's a waste of time and effort to try and prosper here. Sure the sacred cows of big industry will probably remain but aside from arguably Hammond the cities in north LC have no clue what economic prosperity is much less how to obtain it or how to make a good private sector job. I wonder how they're gonna survive now that the entitlements and block grants are going to be scaled back and the "river boat" casino revenue is drying up?
Looks like I hit the nail on the head when I made this comment.
I think you said the hell with Lake county years ago. You're a part-time resident of NWI at best and you aren't involved in your community other than to whine about it on message boards. Mirage's claim that he is not going to do business in Lake county has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with his lack of talents and inability to form relationships.His claim is almost identical to the claim that Moby made before the 2008 elections when he said that he and several of his friends agreed to close their businesses if Obama was elected. I'm sure that sent the Dow Jones crashing when several bigots on a message board said they were going to close their imaginary businesses! Mirage actually believes his line of BS. I'd like to hear him cite a single instance of how Democratic control of Lake county effected his "business concerns". It sounds to me like he is just trying to find a scapegoat to blame for his own failures in business. Plus, Mirage said he was going to leave Lake county if Seaton won. Hank Adams became the first Republican in fifty years to win a county election and Mirage is still leaving. That tells me he is leaving because he is a poor businessman, not because of the economic climate here.
