Sure they can. They're called 'covenants'.
zugmannI think the railroad is going to find a general lack of support after opening this can again. No town can, nor should they, agree to something forever in the future. Not how it works.
But 20 or 30 years is reasonable. After all most of us have been involved with 20 or 30 year mortgages in our lifetimes.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
From the article:
"The Times News reports the borough, in a press release, said the railroad would not return without a written agreement that it does not, has never, and will never owe the amusement tax, and that “the borough can’t legally agree to these terms.”"
Why can't they agree to those terms? The terms seem to be the essence of their agreement. Has nobody asked for an answer to that quesion?
