Post 998

The amount is so small it is a total insult, but they even break it down into sub-categories to try to impress us. 😡

    This is a joke. Reminds me of mitigating wetlands lost to a shopping center development by installing a detention basin.

    The part of this I find most irritating is that the funds are coming from the feds (us taxpayers), not from the companies trashing the place…
