Budget Talks Lead To Debate

“If you can’t do it for everybody, you can’t do it for just one,” director Danny Wasson said.

Is that not what they just did? Three programs got funding and three didn't. Would it not have been better to cut everyone's funds across the board?

Museum: $37,000
Boys & Girl's Club: 18,500
Lion's Club: $6,000
Arts Center: $14,500
Swim team: $1,000
Development Center: $6,000

That's an even cut across the board - everyone still gets about 75% of what they were asking, but the total remains the same - $83,000.

Come on Siloam! Either say outright that you value those three services more than the others, or be as fair as possible to all six.
