Not really.

We ALL must STOP asking for State or Federal funds and truly sacrifice to live within our own community or state's means. <BR/> Of course, we really don't want to do that. Instead, we will keep pressuring our reps to GET US SOME 'FREE' MONEY!!<BR/> WE are the basic problem creating exessive government spending!Richard E.
