Letter: New saying

To the editor:

“Beginning July 1, a new state law is expected to more than cut in half the number of Lawrence properties that will require a historic preservation review as part of the development process.” (Journal-World, June 12)

That story reminded me of a saying from my youth:

Use it up

Wear it out

Make it do

Or do without.

Our Kansas legislators support a very different saying:

Tear it down

Rip it up

Build new stuff

And make a buck.
