From the article:

"We plan to rebuild and rebuild quickly," Bobby Baldwin, president and chief executive of the company's Mirage Resorts unit, said in a statement. "While we will take the time necessary to carefully assess the situation, we are also dedicated to identifying the fastest way to rebuild and restart the Gulf Coast economy and the lives of our employees and their community."

Is no one interested in some good news coming from the Gulf Coast?

Good news doesn't get folks riled up Same reason you don't see as much good news on TV (under any circumstances, not just as it relates to this).

In any event, good for them and good for Mississippi

I think that is fantastic! But, yes I have noticed that GOOD news is often being overlooked on this board.

 

[Crankyshank]

That is very good news

People don't necessarily have to post a reply to have interest in good news.

Great news! The employees are going to need their jobs. Also, maybe they'll build bigger so they can hire more people.

Before I opened the thread, I thought maybe Disney was going to house people at the Tower of Terror

Seriously, it's great news. Glad to hear it. I heard on NPR that some of the big casino companies, like Harrah's, are going to keep hurricane victims on their payroll for 90 days.

While I understand the economic benefits of casino gambling, I am completely against casinos for some personal reasons and glad my state voted against them. I'd never want another family to go through what my grandparents did...it's so bad that it will be better when my grandpa dies, as morbid as that sounds. I pray that casinos never invade this state, although I've heard they are already preparing for next election. I am glad that our economy (state/city) isn't so reliant on this industry, it's too bad there aren't other industries that they could rely on.

Outside of human sacrifice, I don't care what industry MS relies on at this point, so long as they are able to get their economy up and running.

That's fine. I'm just glad we don't have it in my state and I will help fight any effort to try and bring it here.
