Reply #24: now I wonder...

IF the new sidewalks in the little town next to me, are courtesy of stimulous money...I drove through town a couple weeks ago..and found the city was destroying all the beautiful flowering Redbud trees on Main street...I couldn't understand why they'd do that...next thing I know...they have planted brand new sidewalks instead, in an area that absolutely didn't need them...the trees looked far better in the middle of a little country town for crying out loud..but they call that improvement I gather?? Not in my book....or on the freeway...spending $1.3 million bucks to string ugly wire cable between posts in the median from point a to point b...for what reason??? who knows.......It's not like 1.3 million could have done a whole lot more had it been used somewhere else??? at the same time the state is screaming it's short of money, while trying to figure out new ways to tax us to make up for the shortages...it seems nothing makes sense any more....wb
