Stimulus for Waco


Not that Waco is getting any stimulus money (or that stimulus money should be doled out at all)... but if it did, what should it be spent on?

Given that this is a city that has pondered erecting a giant Texas Ranger with a big gun to stand next to the interstate, I worry what the official answer to this might be. But what would your answer be?

Comments:
Positive PR. Hire some huge ad agency to place good news stories in national papers. When we hear about Waco up here in Yankee-land it almost certainly not anything good.

Oh, and a huge green bear statute - that would be good, too. Wait a minute...
 
1. A second Vitek's.
2. A subway or elevated train that connects with DART.
3. A 100,000 stadium.
4. More city council members.
5. A city-wide, mandatory practice court program.
 
1. More manufacturing jobs located in the areas of the city where the people who need them most will have access to them.
2. Whole Foods/Central Market
3. A good homebrew store so I dont have to go to Austin Homebrew Supply for my supplies.
4. A decent music store
5. More live music venues
6. More buses and public transit
7. A decent Asian/Indian/Mediterranean market
8. A squadron of ninja veterinarians to covertly spay and neuter all the feral animals
9. A gun on my hip, 15 bullets in my clip, my hand rests heavy on my pistol grip. For the safety of the town, of course.
10. A Great Glass elevator to go with the chocolate factory over by the zoo
 
Tradelawguy is right, mentions of Waco do not engender respect up here in DC. Or most anyplace.

A good ad agency would be a wise investment.
 
Waco-area law enforcement are receiving a little over 600K but apparently they don't know how they are going to spend it...
 
Everybody in Waco should get their own gun. Or bazooka. I will take a bazooka thank you very much.
 
The panda say you need flame throwers. Flame throwers are more effective than guns - they automatically destroy evidence.

A statue to the late David Koresh with him shaking hands with the FBI and ATF agents. Oops - bad image of Waco.

Give Justin money to open a Home Brew supply store in Waco. Justin, it's good to diversify.
 
Forget flamethrowers and bazookas - get some howitzers!

Yeah, I've been hanging around the field artillery guys a bit too much lately...
 
We need to build a space ship. And outfit it with nuclear weapons capabilities. Then Sigourney Weaver and I will take it to orbit. After that, we'll nuke Waco from orbit. Then we'll be sure.
 
Perhaps you need a pyramid so the Sumummian's will relocate to Waco.
