Muster zone shelters for illegals seeking day work will be fine.

...they have included $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts...

OOOH BOY! I can get a nice BIIIG grant from them if I can figure out what kind of religious symbol to combine with which bodily excretions to cause the most controversy!

No actually this is a relatively small town cultural arts council. They support a children’s theater and local events like weekend open-air music in the summer, idol-type talent contests, etc etc. They are a good group on a small budget but it still just pained me to here about the rush to grab a piece of the “free money”. I would much prefer to see local businesses and people and state and national arts promoting groups support these effors rather than federal tax dollars.

The pool at the Y offers classes in drown-proofing children.

Pig Odor? Montana World Trade Cntr? Tatoo removal?!!! Grape Genetics???!! OMG:??!!

As my daughter is a swimmer, I’d rather have the POOL :(
I think most would!!! (or frisbee park,etc.) You know, things that might keep youth out of trouble, promote family time, serve general public :(

Here in California, our stimulus share will extend foster care until age 21. I think I’d rather have the pool also :)
