redkneck Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 You guys know exactly what I'm talking about. Our last fire meeting the chief told me a government energy efficiency expert had came by and said we had an excellent opportunity at getting a grant for: NEW INSULATED GLASS WINDOWS! NEW HIGH EFFICIENCY A/C! NEW ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTS! NEW ENERGY EFFICIENT FURNACE! I went off! Come to find out he had sought out and found the guy on the internet and set up the meeting! I probably pissed him off at my disgust... who cares.!?!?! Why should our tax dollars fork out 40K to save us at most $20/month? It's happening every day in every town folks. It's bad enough folks won't work for a living, but then we burn money like it's no tomorrow!!!! It's not a democrat or republican thing, just a government thing. This country is going to He!! in a handbasket folks, for all of you that miss the old manufacturing jobs don't worry, they will come back in full force when we are making socks, underwear, and happy meal toys for the Chinese. OK, I'm done. PS, my little town of less than 250 has recieved over 1.8 million of your tax dollars in the last 5 years that we surely could have done without.

I won't turn it down if you see fit to send some back But seriously, that is crazy. That money could be better spent, in more than one way.

Dawg Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 It sucks, but it's been that way for a long time. It will only get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 How is your communications infrastructure? That is what I would be worried about!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 How is your communications infrastructure? That is what I would be worried about!! Crappy. There's one repeater that some Einstein put all the way on the north county line. Seldom do handhelds ever hit it on the south end. We have all new pagers, but could really use new handhelds. Sorry about the fuss, it just ticks me off to see billions of dollars thrown away on such stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
