Local residents in the town of Brookside gathered last night to protest against plans for anew fast food restaurant and gas station planned for the east side of town. “We feel it isunsuited to the neighborhood,” said Mayor Maddie Perrows. “There is no need or desire for it. It

will mean more traffic problems, more noise, more pollution, and people are worried about thenegative effect on their pr operty values.” More than 200 residents came to the special councilmeeting, which didn’t end until nearly midnight Friday. Of those who attended, only tenwere in favor of the planned development. They included the landowners and representatives of

The Pine County Business Forum, which is financing the development. Head of the forum, Clark

Debussy, claimed that studies on the environment impact have proven the new development willhave mainly positive effects in the community. “We also expect that these facilities will attractmore people to the area and boost local business,” he insisted. However, the vast majority ofresidents remain unconvinced. Officials from the fast food chain could not be reached for

comment.

Foreign banks have reported similar abuses, and say the counterfeit industry is almost

exclusively controlled and directed by organized crimes. The variety of issues arising from this

latest crisis in counterfeit currencies will be addressed at the Global Economic Forum, to be held

in Geneva in late spring.
