Go ahead - do what you want. You do anyway.
This is the sentiment recently expressed by a local reporter. At a recent commissioner's meeting, the request for astroturf for the high school was put on the agenda. As an Update. Not as a roll call or a decision. An update. Another reporter, after checking the agenda, chose to miss the meeting. Nothing important was expected to pass. Or happen.
The commissioner's originally stated that if taxpayers could come up with $200,000 toward the astroturf, they would okay the purchase and would spend another $500,000 on it. The taxpayers came up with $60,000 - a nice show but not the amount the commissioners originally agreed to. Boyce Deitz felt it was a lot of money. The resolution passed 100%.
Citizens, welcome to spend away. Build a performing arts center for high schoolers. Let the Superintendent market the astroturf on the local radio show. Waste, waste, waste. Oh yes, and we can't afford a homeless shelter, either.
Think I will vote for any of you next go round? Think again.
