Let's see, how much of that money is spent on projects not directly affecting TV? How many of the county gov. seats are occupied by those involved with TV? I realize the growth is directly due to TV, but the money stays there also. If I was paying taxes in Bushnell, like my daughter, and my money is going to help subsidize the partying of retired folks, I'd be a bit upset. It's typical around here, "I want it now and I want it free!"
