Letter to the editor: Mindless spending
To the editor:
The city is imposing a sales tax for affordable housing and doesn’t have a plan on how it is to be spent! This is Lawrence, not Washington, D.C. I thought we were smarter than that. Lately it has been the jail fiasco with taxes raised years ago but never spent; out-of-state companies are given our tax money to build here and then never build here; then Queens road and bicycle boulevards that go nowhere; now this. Maybe it is time the citizens start thinking about how our system is spending our money and if the responsibility and trust given the officials is working.
Ron Wilson,
Lawrence
