1.1M is not much of a haul for the latest green woke grift. Maybe it’ll pay for part of a new worthless study.
I agree. With how much the poor are hurting with inflation, I’m not sure why the supervisors would take from so many who can’t afford it to make a measly million a year. Why are we taking from the poor? What are the poor subsidizing? I thought the trend around here was to make public transport free. Seems unconscionable.
