So, let me get this straight..In the last week alone:  They cut the funding for rural internet services to small villages at the public libraries, the one and only place that locals can get online to do school work, and other essential stuff. Savings? About 1 million annually.
Then they want to cut the funding for the slaughter house, one of the only places where farmers can go to have there animals handled, and get USDA stamped. It cost the State about 100,000.00 annually.
Now, they decide to buy, over what the appraised value is, the one building that the public has been screaming to cut from the budget, the LIO office. Never mind that there is a State owned building downtown already that has room for them. Plus, they need to furnish it at a cost of over a million. Total cost? Over 33 million furnished.
Does anyone down there have a set of priorities? Does anyone down there respect the public input? I think not.
Voters need to pay attention.
