[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This cut is absolute insanity. This program is so good for our kids. And listening to the meeting yesterday, they want to cut this and library to increase some salaries, namely in the police force, and build up reserves. How about we fund what we need today and let the reserves just be. What good is tomorrow if we kill our property values and community by cutting these sorts of programs.

And I'll add to say that there are other programs in the area is a flat out falsehood. We have been at three other gyms in the area. They all have had MAJOR safe sport problems -- men treating young girls in a way that isn't okay. Coaches having relationships with gymnastics. Coaches using public body shaming on athletes. There are other programs on paper. But they are not all safe programs. [/quote]

People should listen to the meeting and people should pay attention to who they vote for long before these types of issues come up.  As we all know, elections have consequences.

One party rule in Arlington ushered in collective bargaining for public safety with zero attention.  Peek under the hood how much that is costing the County.   This County Board follows the Gold Star Liberal talking points on all issues every single time and there isn't a lot of discussion about the far-reaching implications of any of it and they're just going to raise taxes to pay for all of it.  And no I'm not MAGA and I vote Dem so I hope this doesn't devolve into that because boring.  I do however think one-party rule isn't good for any level of government and I think people don't pay attention to local government elections like they should.[/quote]
