We're talking about tax revenue from lake people spending money in Alex City.  And they were pretty thrilled to find out that RL was going to develop Wicker Point. Pretty thrilled that Russell decide to build  Full timers shop for food, and other things in Alex City - and would buy more if there were places here to spend money for the things people want.  People are retiring here.  And then, during the season, the population swells - I guess you probaby haven't noticed how many new subdivisions there are on the lake.  

In case you haven't noticed, school enrollments are down everywhere, because the number of children being born is down.  Additionally, a lot of people home school or send their kids to private school, given the dismal prospect of public schooling in Alabama.
