Re: Article in Jan. 24 business section of The Signal.
Well here we go again! Instead of doing something worthwhile with $2.8 million, the county has decided to give it as grants in the form of street vending carts!
So whether or not the people of our city would want street vendors, we have to allow even more of them. We have to have them on street corners near our schools, in our way as we try to walk on sidewalks.
I wonder how many homeless people that $2.5 million could get off the streets?
Feed the hungry through the number of programs already existing?
How many roads could it repair?
How far could it go to clean the water or air or the smell of a certain dump?
The article says, our county states, “The cart giveaway is part of a broader effort by the county to support low-income entrepreneurs and strengthen economic inclusion.”
Whoops! Oh, now I get it! There is that trendy word, “inclusion.”
I guess that makes everything OK! I feel much better now!
