fool: I don't know too much about wild ginseng. My guess would be that it continued to grow in the same general area, but never in the exact same spots. Not sure though.

Yup, sounds crazy, right? But it's true. You can only grow it on the same land once, ever. But you can grow other crops on it after the ginseng is harvested. -Gina

Hey folks, Gina here. Eric Busse contacted me to shed light on some speculating going on here.
On the “robo calling” … “I don't have a clue what it is and I sure was not calling people to vote for me. If it was done, I didn't know anything about it,” Busse said.
He also cleared up his role in area sports.
“The only coaches paid in baseball are the Head Varsity and JV coaches. Anyone else is a volunteer assistant of which I have done for 8 years and I put in a lot of time to help get our baseball program to where it is now,” he said.
He said he does get paid by Evansville and other area schools for refereeing football games.
“In addition, I do get paid for being part of the event staff at basketball games as do others in the community (staff and community members),” he said.

dukes: From a previous story: According to the proposed intergovernmental agreement, Ho-Chunk would make quarterly payments of 2 percent of the casino's "net win" to the city. The city would pay 30 percent of its share to Rock County.
How much that could be is unknown.
Arft said the nation's leaders weren't comfortable dropping a number, but they have given city officials a range of potential revenue based on their marketing projections.
"I can tell you that it is a substantial number," Arft said. "It clearly would be a game-changer again in terms of the city's ability to budget and do capital expenditures."
