MEALS: Food for official thought

| September 6, 2011 10:00 PM

No money for senior Meals on Wheels? How do you elected officials sleep at night? There is money for ANOTHER dog park, there are millions of dollars available for the McEuen project, there is money to buy land and build a replacement baseball park and boat ramp, there is money for a boat trailer parking lot at Carlin Bay, and there is money for pay raises. What is next, parking meters in handicapped parking spaces?

Federal, state, county and city funds, all the money comes from the same place, we the taxpayers. So, since it all comes from the same place, why can't you figure out how to find money for food for these folks? We the taxpayers have seen what you can do with our money, now it's time to step up to the plate.
