We Need Stimulus Too

The stimulus package contains plenty of pork. However, now that it's law we need to get our share. It is, after all, our tax money too. Ridgely has plenty of projects which would qualify that are either shovel ready or even shovels in the ground. We need to pay for the waste water treatment plant project which is already under way. We need our public safety building for the RVFD and our police. We also need a new water tower. What steps has our town administration taken to secure our piece of the pie?

Nada, as of Monday's meetings. They are probably too busy trying to "fix" the charter.

Well maybe, but they are going to have the applications in by the 28th. The public safety building application isn't due until September. We may get our fair share yet. This was a big issue tonight at our planning meeting.
