storm damage / tree sawing
During the Clinton years, I remember a story about a boy who
had a lawn mowing service. He amassed some money. He was on the news, offering Slick Willie a thouand dollars to help with the deficit. Rush was having a fit, he should hire help and reinvest in the economy, not rewarding congress that can't live within its means. I remember Pres. Clit saying they would have to "see if we can accept this money". Much the same, the highway dept probably can't accept such funds. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..
