YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

Rate this item

While it is ill-advised to look a gift horse in the mouth, The Post asks, "Was the paving of Grant and East streets wise use of taxpayer money?" Apparently these two roadways were the only ones in town to qualify for federal stimulus handouts. Rather than taking the high road and passing on the Obama bucks so they could be spent on truly needed infrastructure projects elsewhere , we went for the gold. Pinckneyville now proudly boasts two streets that are stiped for a couple of blocks each. What a waste of our dollars.

    Well, when it comes to the state AND fed gov't i think its best that we just take what we can get because we are lucky to get anything at all.
