  1. After looking at those 10 purposes and seeing, in your local newspaper up there that the library got 1/6th of the money (now libraries are good), there must be an 11 or 12 that you cut off on that list because certainly your county would not mimic ours and pay no attention to the law. Naw!

    1. What pokey powers that be not follow the law.
      I think some of them try to bend it till it snaps.
      We have more officials facing civil suits than we have not.
      You need to check out how many deputies in the last few years that have been charged with crimes here and in other states.
      One day all of this would make a good special report for tv or a sci fi as no one would think people in real life could screw up so much.
