Gratuitous Spending, A Word With Our President

RMD: Mr. President a great tradgedy has befallen our beloved Mardonia, we have lost our Empiracle Building
PFA: When the hell did that happen?
RMD: Sir you're in charge and should know as an elected official that we have been operating without our courthouse for some time.
PFA: Oh, yea, I remember that now, what about it?
RMD: Rumor has it that you and your officers have decided to raise taxes to build a new courthouse and are accruing a multi million dollar debt for our county to build it. A lot of our citizens are angry about these tax hikes for our new courthouse that burned down do you think that this tradgedy could of been averted.
PFA: Well do you know how much smoke detectors cost? They just happen to cost 12.5 million dollars, and where would you like me to get that kind of money.
RMD: Sir, smoke detetctors only cost five dollars, I think you're referring to the cost of our burnt down courthouse.
PFA: Now it wouldn't do any good to put a smoke detector in a burnt down courthouse now would it? You thought you had me!
RMD: *sigh* At any rate sir, could the county use the soon to be closed War Memorial Hospital building for the new courthouse, and would this alternative be more cost effective than building a new courthouse.
PFA: But I want a new one!
RMD: Also sir, don't you think that the new parking lot left by the dismembered courthouse is good for local businesses.
PFA: I really need to get some parking meters in that parking lot, I'm losing my ass on that. OK I got a solution we'll get a circus to loan us a tent and we'll keep the courthouse there. That way I can keep myself entertained with the elephants, and the bearded lady. How awesome would that be, our government inside a circus....awesome.
RMD: I hardly see how that solves the...
PFA: I have made my decision! and it will stand. *Note to self, call Barnum and Bailey*
RMD: Thank you sir for another incredibly complicated solution to a simple problem.

PFA,

Your amount of knowledge is staggering but you forgot to mention another issue that Morgan County is dealing with... The water lines and sewage plant. They decided to replace ALL water lines in Morgan County AND repair the facility on 522. They decide to do ALL OF THIS all at once and then the cost will just end up trickling back down to the residents of Morgan County. Our county officials are some of the smartest people in the world. Why use their own money to make renovations when they can have everything paid for? Ponder this PFA...Why are we building a state-of-the-art Court House for Morgan County?
