Good local economic news! A friend told me that her husband's employer

has started receiving alot of orders again for product. They are in the plastics and chemical business. I didn't get any more details, but she said orders were almost nil for the last 8 months.

Maybe things are looking up!

1. Good news is great for a change

2. Good news!

I know that you probably don't want to say what company it is, but could us the general area?

5. South Texas, not too far from the coast. Lots of plants up and down here.

I don't know if it will be new hiring anywhere or just being able to keep others on the payroll.

3. just a shame this good news would come after the war on the economy has been declared a failure

hear that on pigboy's show yesterday

4. Yeah, especially here where it is very unappreciated. If every

auto lot sold 95% of their vehicles tomorrow, every retail store had a boom is sales, every construction job was put to work and inventories financed, they'd still blame Obama for it in the first place and give Dumbya the credit. This area voted 70% for him and McSame. They don't deserve good news, but I'm hoping it'll filter to good Democratic voting citizens anyway!
