Now charities are usually
good and it is a matter of record that Americans are the most generous
givers to charities in the world. Somehow, however, taxing residents to
give to charities seems wrong. Like free enterprise, good and efficient
charities attract supporters, inefficient and inappropriate charities
wither and die. Unless the latter are spoon fed by government.

The County Commissioners make these detailed decisions on the budget and the Representatives (here called the County Delegation) approve or disapprove that budget. In these tough times for the taxpayers, I would like to see our Commissioners let the public decide which charities to support. Next week I will look at the details, and, with the rest of the Delegation, tell the Commissioners how much they may spend, which will tell the Sullivan County residents how much in taxes they will pay. Let me know what you think about it all. After all, I represent you.
