The article is referring to Northerners who move here permanently, and stop paying taxes up North. Not tourists who come down for a week or two. I supposed snowbirds are included too, its not that specific.

My prediction of yet another record setting year of tourism is coming true.

The naysayers are in a fetal position right now.
I read the article and it's about increased airline traffic to the area. However this in turn leads to the other kind of "traffic" increase on the roads. The infrastructure in this area wasn't designed to handle this kind of growth. And the proposed "solutions" aren't going to do much good IMO. For instance one of the main goals of the government in this area is to relieve traffic congestion by convincing people to walk more and ride their bicycles. Yeah good luck with that one......

Lowest unemployment in 44 years! Since 1976...wow. Great news. I'd like to see if wages are growing too. It would make sense since we are at or near full employment here.

I'd like to also remind everyone here of my prediction I made prior to the start of the tourist/snowbird season that this one would be the biggest ever, even though some Red Tide was around for a while. I'm predciting record bed tax collections too.

More great news for our area. Let the good times roll.
