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.
