"When this was in the news I said then that if the community I live in had been given that kind of money to improve our environment we would be living in luxury and eating caviar on toast."

You might consider the billions of $ the gov't collects from you and I for all manner of taxes and yet the squandering of funds to say nothing of the funds that never go to serve your community but the interests of others, the $300 hammers or the offices that get refurnished after each election or reposting, the closed down bases whose real estate gets sold for pennies to ....interested parties, yada, yada. The FN have nothing on these guys. A little pot calling the kettle black?

Highly interesting that people need to use this site for hate mongering or disgruntlement venting at this point in time as the sp shrinks. Seems to have become more concerted of late.
