It’s a shame that government officials always seem to get upset when the public doesn’t beat down their doors to take their free offerings.
Tribune writer Blake Herzog has a story today about the residents of an quaint area of Gilbert called Sonora Town and how few people living there are trying to lay claim to a $417,000 federal grant for house rehabilitation. The story is guided by an attitude from town officials there’s something wrong. I think it’s great that Sonora Town residents aren’t rushing to take someone else’s tax dollars to solve their problems.
Since Gilbert won’t be able to spend all of the grant money on Sonora Town, Herzog reports the town will at least $95,000 will be siphoned off for similar uses elsewhere. But what Gilbert should do is send that money back to Washington. There seems to be a greater need there.

The almighty tax dollar should be given back to the taxpayers not a particular group but to the ones that actually paid it in.. the government isnt doing anything but dragging us citizens under we will not be any better off than we were during the great depression.. and I do believe that is were we are heading to… there needs to be some major changes in our government and it needs to happen fast…
