The Republican member of Middle's Committee has voted against the budget. There were two items he felt should have been addressed: First, there should have been a contribution to the middle school, and second, there should have been a contribution to the fire company. Don't the school and fire company have their own budget? Maybe he could take some money from the county budget, but then we also contribute to the county budget! Maybe he can find some federal funds, but then again we contribute our tax dollars to the government. Take money from your pocket. Great idea!
