Should a Township Support the less fortunate - Yes

Yesterday, I posed a question on whether Forks Township should make a donation to support the 9 homeless shelters in the Lehigh Valley. The Lehigh Valley Coalition on Affordable Housing  was seeking a donation of $5633 from the BoS.

Basically, 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.  

I am strongly urging the Forks BoS to pass a resolution to donate $5633 to the coalition at the December 5, 2008 meeting.  If they can not find the money, then I have a few suggestions for the BoS.  But, that is a topic for another day.

 

Get Involved - Every Voice Counts
