A travesty
To the editor:
I was disheartened to read the article in Sunday’s edition about the result of the homeless car wash (“Homeless car wash shut down by city,” July 31). This is a terrific example of taxpayer money going to waste. Couldn’t the city of Lawrence better allocate its resources than to send a water technician out on the weekend to undercut the homeless softball team? Any fine levied for a car wash benefiting such a cause would be an absolute travesty. In addition to waiving the fine, the city of Lawrence should pay the team’s entry fee.
