R is for Recreation, and if E is for Effort, F is for Fail

From the $3,800.00 website(when working): "...in an effort to lessen the tax burden.." Doesn't look like much effort was put toward that end. The district collected over $416,000 in tax revenue last year, but they only "needed" $116,000 to run a 3-day per week office, buy inspirational photographs, utilities, and bits of string.  What do they do with the rest?  They "tenaciously" save it.  They are taking money from you and doing nothing with it.  They take it out of the economy, where it might have been spent by you on something you liked, and keep it until they make up their minds on how to proceed.  They could have built two Pentagons and the Transcontinental Raildoad by now. Your tax bill could have been considerably less if they only had taken what they "needed". When you approved this, did you know you would be "saving" money, without recreation, for longer than it took to build the Transcontinental Railroad?  I didn't.
Here- let's look at a little chart which illustrates it nicely:

  1. FLUSH. That is where it goes. It all comes to rest with the Tidy Bowl Man.

    How much money has the WECRD donated or given back to the community for things that directly relate to recreation and the youth of this community? I myself do not consider the arts to be recreation. If they were I am pretty sure it would be in their name. Betty Ashcraft is involved with both the WECRD and the MHAC. Is this where those donations come in? This is in their Minutes.

  2. Agreed.
    You look at your Medicare, Social Security, and your Pentagon, and there is much room for improvement.
