Society loses as services are cut
I feel the need to share my beliefs with you. I think that the state government needs to stop cutting the funding for services to the poor, and cut something we do not need such as high salaries for government employees.
Higher-ups get a raise while abused women don't get what they need from the shelters.
If we stopped cutting funding where people need it most, there would be fewer people living on the street, more people in schools, and then the colleges would make more money so there would have to be less government funding for that. We would save hundreds of dollars. Please take this into consideration when encouraging people to look at the money their state government spends.
