(11,250 posts)I`d like us to study regions of rural America and see what the specific needs are, see how we could support certain projects. I remember not that long ago when the small town of Groveton, New Hampshire lost its mill. It was devastating with widespread aftershocks. I spoke with many of those workers and it was heartbreaking, especially with so many families being one paycheck from financial disaster. You can drive through towns in upstate New York and see business after business closed. There are pockets like that in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and probably in most states in our country. Rural poverty (just like urban poverty) needs to be addressed.
I appreciate your part in this respectful "conversation" and continue to believe that we can come together. All for one and one for all, as the saying goes.
