Economic Impacts Almost 2 Years After Polk Centers Closing

May will mark 2 years since the Polk Center officially closed. Since the closure, Venango County has struggled to maintain an economic structure that can compete with a local Goodwill. With an economy that depends 100% on state funding to survive, losing the only state funded program lost the county 100% of their inflow.

"This was a major hit" says an anonymous resident that doesn't actually exist "with no money coming into the county, all we have is what circulates between the 52 residents that make up Venango."

The danger of this is if any of that money leaves the county. It is estimated that the county has between 56 and 57 dollars circulating between the residents and businesses. Any less, and we would easily classify as a third world county.

What makes things even scarier is that Mayor Blunder is still insisting on succeeding from the United States to form his own "Venango States of America." If this executive order is signed, Venango County will immediately classify as a third world country.

The Venango County House of Representatives is working hard to block this executive order to declare the county an independent nation. The house leader, who actually is the only member of the house, and also the Mayors sister, says that vetoing this order will only be effective if Mayor Blunder doesn't veto her veto. In this case, she would have to veto his veto of her veto. If he then veto's that veto, any veto's to follow will be too complex for their second grade level brains to keep track of.

The economy of Venango County is barely surviving. Members of the City of Franklin have proposed an appeal to the state Governor to open another center like the Polk Center. So far, the only idea has been to use it for corn hole tournaments which is Venango Counties idea of a major attraction.
