We were told that our money would be shifted if we refused to participate in funding the MSWP access centre. There is no new money being provided. People can live on their own, the government spends money on other things and are not supporting us. If these issues were brought to the general public, I am sure they would understand. I wonder how we can bring the issues to other's attention that people will lose services rather than gain services.
People feel like they are being dispossessed.
The first few pages of MSWP say that the exercise is to improve services. As you read on, it becomes clear that the real objective is to reduce costs. I am particularly annoyed by statements that there should be less government and more community responsibility. Our tax dollars come from the community. All that is occurring comes from community.
