Please tell me ... why is it that when budgets are cut (as was the library's), the powers that be want to make the biggest impact on the community in order to make their point that they need more taxpayer dollars. Saturdays are the day that most people are off work and able to take advantage of the library. Why didn't the library choose a weekday to close, rather than a weekend day. Typical, typical bureacrats ...

Thanks for the info. Typical.
Shelia do you have the lyrics for this one or would you like me to pick it. PS I was the first to do lyrics on the local blogs.

same reason the largest cut was in the rec department.

you get a lot of complaints then the boc says "people would prefer we raise taxes".

you notice they didn't cut the sheriffs department or any of the boc budgets.
