You clearly don't know how public agencies are allowed to spend their budgeted money.  I suggest you do a little reading into it, or maybe even volunteer as a budget committee member sometime, then you may just have somewhat of a clue as to how it works, because right now you have about as much of one as the aforementioned (by you) "bovine excrement."  

As for Hamilton, yeah, she's just looking for another dollar at the public expense.
