   We hear so much from our elected officals that more money is needed  to pay for this program, that project, or for any other expense that may come along. Like everyone else, I am tired of hearing about how much more taxes need to be collected to pay for everything.

    I say enough is enough, our elected officals need to start looking at all the wasted dollars and misuse going on with our tax dollars. How many times have you seen government workers using vehicles for their personel gain, you know like say for making that micky D's office run, to stop and pay a bill, or to buy lottery tickets? How many times have you seen school buses parked at Wal-Mart, or at one of the fast food eateries? How about one elected offical that just receintly stated he needed and additional 2 million dollars for his department, but can't justify the departments expenses. And to top it off suddenly finds 1 million dollars. What, was it just laying around? I don't think so.

    Remember a couple of years ago when there was talk of not enough money to pay for fuel to keep the school buses running?

    I know money is needed, but before they ask for increases they need to justify all the wasted money. How do we police our money and our elected officals? Maybe it's time for these elected officals to learn to budget these expenses properly or learn to read the employment section of the newspaper.
