READERS COMMENT From our website The following is an edited selection of reader comments posted at the end of stories and columns published on-line. More can be found at www.cdispatch.com. Higgins: Columbus development outlook bleak compared to county laura: Wow! An admission from Higgins that companies do not want to pay city taxes and prefer to locate their businesses in the counties to avoid the additional city taxes. In that case, why is he fighting to have an industrial park inside the city of Starkville when he already has over 6,000 county acres in Lown- des County shovel-ready for businesses now? He must want to saddle the taxpayers of Starkville with additional debt. A debt that may never produce results. Given that he admits companies expect longer-term tax incentives of 20 years, then cities and counties would have to completely retire their bond debt before the potential of receiving any property taxes becoming available. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for a gamble of this size. It is lose-lose for taxpayers, we have to pay to purchase and development property tying up much needed funds with no return in sight. City of Starkville Taxpayers and City of Starkville government officials take note; we all lose if the industrial park project moves forward.

After several conversations, the city and LINK agreed with the company on terms to rec- ommend to the council. “If they could do all that my March 21, the city would be agreeable to letting them deed that property back to the city,” Tur- nage said. “In exchange for that, the city would then cancel the deed of trust and return the property to them with a reverter clause if they fail to live up to the terms of the agreement.” The terms of the new agreement require Amer- ican Power Source to employ at least 30 people each month for the next five years. The company would have to pay the city $1,000 for any month that employment dips below 30. The city received the property where American Power Source is located in 2003 from the Colum- bus-Lowndes Economic Development Agency, the LINK’s predecessor. That same year, the city leased the property to Ameri- can Power Source for five years. In 2009, the city sold and financed the land to the company for $198,000. However, the company has struggled to keep up with payments. “In the past three to four years,” the resolution says, “APSI has unfortunately experienced a substantial reduction in orders and sales volume for U.S. military uniforms that it pro- duces due, at least in part, to a shift in the production of such uniforms to U.S. prisons.” Because of slumping production, American Power Source has missed several note payments and ad valorem tax payments for 2014-16. The resolution notes a “substantial likelihood” the company would fail to make the remaining note payments. “The taxes have been paid, and we will be paying the final note by the 21st SPORTS EDITOR SECTION Adam Minichino: 327-1297 SPORTS LINE 662-241-5000 B Sports THE DISPATCH n CDISPATCH.COM n THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2017 COLLEGE FOOTBALL Ole Miss self-imposes one-year bowl ban; more sanctions possible

Tennessee was 3 of 17 from beyond the arc. “I think for us to be able to go out and kind of make that stance we did defen- sively today, it’s something that we can take pride in, knowing we’ve definitely become a better team since we played them the first time,” Kornet said. Both teams entered the night seeking late-season runs that could boost their NCAA Tournament cre- dentials. Vanderbilt was 49th and Tennessee 52nd in the RPI at the start of the day. But on a night when both teams had much at stake, Tennessee came out flat. The Vols made one basket in the first nine minutes of the game. “I’m baffled and frus- trated by it,” Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said of the slow start. “This time of year, you can’t come out at home and play like that. ... I just can’t believe that we wouldn’t be more focused. You’ve got to give Vanderbilt credit because they understand what this time of year’s about obvi- ously, and we don’t.” After trailing by as many as 15 points, Ten- nessee got to within 44-43 on a pair of Grant Williams free throws with 6:01 left.
