Thanks. You must have been persona non-grata on the board, but I bet the taxpayers among your constituents appreciated you.

I felt I had a responsibility to spend as carefully as I would have if the money were my own. While everyone else seemed to have a ... it's not my money, why not blow it on __________ attitude. From their point of view, they seemed to feel they had an obligation to spend the money on whatever crackpot idea someone had this month. Never thinking that with a little planning and patient we could have saved up for something REALLY amazing the whole community could be proud of. They seemed to have no ability to defer gratification long enough to save for anything of true value.
