How much more recreation and entertainment can the County afford to operate and subsidize? The small companies I'm familiar with are cutting back on travel and office space rental and buying 50 inch HD TVs for teleconferencing. What happens when the Internet superhighway gets going? Does anyone think that Members of Congress will NOT want to move federal offices out of the DC Metro area and into economically distressed areas like Detroit?
