Yet, when our Board of Supervisors finally and bravely stands up for the folks who have begged them to stop the spending madness, she ignores all the facts and soldiers on with her clarion call to spend ever more taxpayers’ money. If this were a comedy skit, it would get demur smiles at the absurdity of it all. But alas, it is not a comedy skit. To quote John Adams, “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts …” Ignoring them does not make them go away.
Our county has spent well beyond our means. Being generous with other people’s money does not make board members kindlier people. It makes them mean. Ms. Booker, I beg you to cease and desist. You have asked more than once for us to spend more for your desires and we have answered no thank you repeatedly.
