The truth is when Cabela's located in Sidney Nebraska it was like winning a million dollar lottery for a city the size of Sidney. You hear a lot of post on this site which is hard to believe. The truth is if Cabela's or the proposed bass pro/ Cabela's company keep a sizeable present in Sidney Nebraska the future looks bright. If for some reason Cabela's or the proposed bass pro/ Cabela's should happen to do what some suggest should be done and relocate outside of Sidney Nebraska . the town of Sidney Nebraska will be in financial ruins and will have such a huge revenue short far and any kind of financial incentive for a new business will be completely out of the question. in fact the town of Sidney in all honesty should tell a new business considering locating in Sidney be prepared to pay a totally out of line taxes if you locate due to Cabela's leaving.

If you remember when Johnny Morris came to corp to address us after the announcement and was asked about how many jobs would remain in SIdney. He said he wouldn't make any promises. That's when i knew it was bad
I don't know what will happen with the merger. SEC documents state that headquarters will be in MO-anyone that believes headquarters will stay in Sidney is dreaming. The combined company might have a smaller presence in Sidney
This is like marrying an very wealthy man. Suddenly you have things you never dreamed of. Car, furs, a beautiful house. And then one day he comes home and says ...it's OVER! Leave everything behind and GET OUT and here's a hundred dollars for you troubles. Now leave! Would I feel thankful.....Hell NO
To have a future with a economic situation like it at the present time in Sidney Nebraska it will be impossible without a sizeable present my either Cabela's or a bass pro merged company with Cabela's in the future.
Unfortunately they will leave and it will be very hard although not impossible. Think of what they gave to the community over the years. It was an incredible lottery although the days are waning and the city leadership must face reality and plan. We can dream all we want but this is not about Sidney it is about bass Pro now.
