What's your business opinion of the proposal to site F-35 fighter jets at Madison's Truax Field?
A.
It makes economic sense because the region stands to gain upwards of $100 million in new construction and 64 permanent and as many as 400 temporary construction jobs.
B.
Forget about what we stand to gain, think about what would be lost if the 115th Fighter Wing loses its mission without the jets and 1,200 jobs are forced to leave.
C. It's bad business to look at displacing homeowners or decreasing property values because of the potential noise and environmental impacts. We all need to live and work together.

No, there are still plenty of ways for people to place a bet if they want to. We shouldn't be in the business of destructive vices.
