Believes priorities are wrong

To the editor:
This is my first letter ever to the editor. I have something to say and I think it needs to be said. I firmly believe that something as big as three buildings, (libraries) at this time should have been taken to a vote. At anytime it should have been taken to a vote. We are in a recession people! Many people are out of work. A lot of people are in low income jobs and canít afford to feed their kids. The schools have made big cuts and still need to pass an operating levy, or make bigger cuts. We have kids that are going to school hungry. Kids that donít have a decent place to live.
I had always thought I lived in a fairly Christian county. Right now I am not sure at all. These people who were fighting for new buildings, I bet that they do not go to bed hungry. And their children have food and a place to live. So what do they care about these other people? What about the seniors in this county thatÝlive on fixed incomes.Ý
I think that there are too many people who only think of them-selves. And I have no idea of what those three commissioners where thinking. It surely was not the community at large. I would be more concerned about giving our kids an education, and feeding them, and giving them a decent place to live. After all, if we donít educate our kids who will be using the libraries? Where are our priorities people?
My prayers rise with patient discontent until no child goes hungry and every child has a roof over their heads. I pray that those three commissioners can workÝwithin the Journey of Justice.
