Politics

OK, normally I don't discuss politics or religion. But, this is just for me to say what I want to say. And what I want to say is ... TWELVE MILLION for another state park???? What are they thinking?
So 12 mil is only a drop in the bucket compared to the deficit ... but how many teacher salaries could they pay with that? Knowing what teachers make, I'd say quite a few.
I have nothing against the state owning and preserving a place like Grandfather Mountain. But I have serious objections to spending that much money when so many people are losing jobs, losing homes, losing dignity ... I sort of doubt they care if we have another park!
Just my opinion folks.

I think that all higher ups (politicians, actors/actresses, CEOs, etc.) should have pay cuts so we can use the money to pay off the debt AND give more to those more deserving (military, police officers, firemen, social workers, teachers, etc.). If they want to use the money for State Parks, it's not the right time for it...but I'd rather them do that then spend the $$ to cut everything down and build ugly subdivisions to put more obnoxious people in.
