The Sleeping

So few take the time to examine how their taxpayer dollars are being spent.  First it was a totally unnecessary performing arts center for the local highschool.  A senior center was built which is beautiful but isn't used enough.  Now the high school which already needs millions of dollars in repairs wants astroturf.

Astroturf.  For high school.  The county commissioners pledged $515,000 of our taxpayer dollars toward it.  Apparently the spent away superintendent and his board comrades felt guilty about the expenditures, or my phone call to them or perhaps even the commissioners said, 'raise the rest.'  They need $200,000.  I am beyond aghast.  I doubt they can raise that kind of money.

So the populace continues to sleep while their hard earned money is wasted.  Don't misunderstand me.  Our commissioners do a nice job.  They are solid folks.  But we do not need to waste money.  It tells the students money grows on trees.

Now I know a few folks who think this is a good idea.  They also would like a skate park.  Maybe they will get it.

What they fail to take into consideration, that is the sleeping populace,  is that the astroturf doesn't last long.  It will need to be replaced.

Spending is overboard.  Again.  The populace continues to sleep.  Until their bill rises to pay for it all.
