Why send council members to convention?

May 22, 2014

I have been proud to be employed by, volunteered for and contributed to civil rights groups. Had I been a member of the Sussex County Council and had to consider a grant request from any group or organization that sought Sussex County taxpayers' hard earned money to, in part, "send members to the national convention in Las Vegas" (self proclaimed Sin City where anything goes,) I would have denied the request without a second thought.
