"For dessert, we have several possibilities," said Shush. "Here's something jee-est a little bit different: A giant Swiss-cheese-and-sorghum-covered pretzel, inspired by the MPC's and KCDC's never-ending, labyrinthine attempts to justify forcing an industrial park on the karst-ridden terrain of the community of Midway. Just a little bite of this snack will fill you up, and you'll get tired of it fast, but once you pick it up, you can't put it down."
A small correction - it's not KCDC, but rather The Development Corporation of Knox County (TDC) who is planning the industrial park. All the acronyms tend to run together after a while.
I wonder how much of this industrial park push is because they don't know how to acknowledge that they made a multi-million dollar mistake?
