How about that idiocy. It isn't the case of the $100k portion of the grant, but just may be the case of that $1,500 portion of the grant.<br /><br />The freeholders can easily say it doenst have to be matching. Wouldnt that be nice. And something the league of municipalities or just the muni's M&C getting together to convince the county that matching grants create additional tax burden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362383920747840565.post-8045660329427166222009-11-08T11:58:52.167-05:002009-11-08T11:58:52.167-05:00sometimes it pays to keep pounding home the messag...sometimes it pays to keep pounding home the message to Union County that garwood's portion towards the county budget is $4 mill+ and we normally get bupkis in return. $3.9 mill to go for this year, and then it starts all over again, another $4 mill in the county budget.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
