As these two Foundations show up and try to speak out in the media and social media, are they actually providing value, or is their virtue signaling taking money from taxpayers?
I should be clear. I think you’re a liar. L-I-A-R. I don’t care about what you think. Your account is brand new, you don’t follow anyone, and you’re pretending to be someone you’re not. I’m reporting you for it and blocking you. You can come here with your real name and your real face or you can go screw yourself.
I have a couple of follow up articles coming out tomorrow that highlight some of your concerns, so I don’t want to answer them right now. Read them and then make a more reasoned argument for the Friends continuing to exist.
I find it unlikely you just stumbled across my blog. You have provided far long a reply not to be associated with the Friends of the Library. The cost of maintaining a grant writer on staff does not warrant the return of funds to the library from either Friends or the Foundation.
If I donated $10 to the Library and then asked the Library to give that money with less value to another group and then asked them to request that money from that same group at even less value because they pay the requestor so by the time they get the money back, it’s only $2, would you call that a good return on my $10?
Books have value. They are property, belonging to the taxpayer, and you are asking the taxpayer to give up the value of that property (donated or from the collection) to reduced by being funneled through a virtue signalling charity. If you like how the government works, this is a great system.
If you prefer a common sense approach, then maybe you would prefer another option.
