re: #184 funky chicken
That’s pretty much how I felt about it when I heard it. I do CERT because the idea is that if a major disaster occurs, having a number of citizens trained not to freak out is a good thing, and we’re pretty much there for emergencies. For the full time jobs like parks and the fire department, I’m thinking “pay these people.”
Though one of the visible effects of our cheapness is a good number of our roads are crap to drive on.
