When they prove themselves scroundrels like the WT Board, they're making the case for us in elimination, regardless of the merit of government "closer to the people". Similar to the sad but true argument for term limits, when the inefficiency of your society leaves no time for citizen vigilance, we get to work on the inefficiency (which requires saying "No") or take some "shortcuts" (term limits, no township layer) that buy us some time. Bottom line, we don't make loans with money we don't have & satisfy wants we don't find sensable of teenagers, certainly not without behavioral expectations. This is the unavoidable logic we face on a national level, whether offshore tax shelters for the rich or subsidized childbirth (versus child protection) for the poor. Our more likely prospect is a socialism, which with no economic sustinence will eventually crumble to an overthrow of some sort. I don't see turing the clock back given current demographics. "Compassion" has assured "change". Ironically, Obama is the last, best shot we have to pull this out of the fire. Think he'll go against the grain of his ideological and voting history? Stay tuned.

These persons sure are the "poster children" for township governmewnt reform. There are sign-up sheets for a petition to reverse this being distributed now.

First the secretary had to dry her nails for just a few more minutes. But, she did apologize. Went to our Township in Decatour for some information.
