Wasn’t that the way it always was? Communities took care of their own needs rather than relying on the federal government. I hope this trend continues.
Things have gotten ridiculous and its time for individuals and communities to take a stand.
I’ve been going to village council meetings and trying to come up with ways of saving township money. For instance, our township pays over $100,000 per year for less than a dozen streetlights in the entire 32 square miles of the township. 5 of those lights are here in town and the rest are at remote crossroads. I think we could convince a few people around town to put up poles with lights and let the ones in the country go. I also think we would be better off plowing our own streets here in town rather than paying the county.
In my opinion, Ruth Johnson was the real gem of the 2010 election.
Does you town have a senior citizens’ center? This seems like another LBJ scheme to take away more of our tax dollars while expanding the Dem patronage system which brings them an ever growing number of government employees and campaign donations.
I thought JimRob zotted him after he mouthed off.
There are only about 150 people in my town so there is no senior center to speak of. I know there are a lot of people who would like to do away with townships so the counties and states can have greater control.
Isn’t that related to Agenda 21?
Does you town have a senior citizens center...Ours does. It’s called the American Legion and doesn’t cost the taxpayers a damn dime.
Our town does have a senior center but you are right there are other gathering places where people can come together without costing the taxpayers a dime.
It’s a good start.
He is great.
Second, the last thing Troy needs right now is for those in Detroit to have the ability to travel to Troy and end up causing havoc and committing crimes there. I mean, really, Troy would end up with a skyrocketing crime rate once Detroiters start being able to easily go there.
