During the Thanksgiving holiday, I got a chance to watch a CNN program honoring 10 heroes. These 10 ordinary people were honored for doing extraordinary things. They proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a single person could change the world.
So, I was wondering whether a Township could change the lives of the less fortunate in the Easton area. This question was posed by a representative from the Lehigh Valley Coalition on Affordable Housing who made a presentation about the homeless situation in the Lehigh Valley. The purpose of the presentation was to ask our township to make a donation to support 9 homeless shelters in the valley. The coalition was seeking a donation of $5633 from the BoS. This donation would be less than .1% of the $7.3M the township collects in revenue and less than .1% of our $7.4M in yearly expenses.
So, here is the question. Should the Forks Township BoS vote to donate $5633.00 to support 9 Lehigh Valley homeless shelters in these tough economic times?
I would like to hear your thoughts!
