Between the Republican governor and Middle's Republican committee, the working class can't get ahead. Here it is Christmas season and families are, once again, forced to choose between having Christmas for their children or losing their home. At least the Democrats gave you an opportunity to do both. I guess this committee figures because they raised starting salaries, there's now extra money to pay taxes. As the spouse of a township employee, that's a joke! This raise has only enabled us to eat steak instead of ground beef. Merry Christmas!
