Samuel Adams

American Patriot & Politician

1722 - 1803

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Hot Issues From Linn County Iowa

If You Care About The Children

This is one of the most commonly used tools to convince people that they should vote for something without looking at the details or the fine print,

I mean really? Who doesn't care about the children

 And without having to show any proof or rationale they can demonise those who do not agree with them with NOT caring about the Children

We see this yet again in the online debate furiously going on HERE 

 

One of the commenters issued that very statement

 In responce to another commenter she also asked, "How many Families have Wi-Fi?

Yes it is true that not every family has Wi-Fi but I believe most Hy-Vees do,

Why would anyone drive all the way downtown to use something that they can get at their neighborhoold grocery?

Where the coffee and pop refills are free I might add.

 

No if you look at some of the details of the Library budget kindly provided by another commenter

Cameron Watts Do your research before you completely misunderstand what you're even voting for! Vote yes!

You might see that in addition to traditional Library expenses there seem to be quite a few what I think of as NON Library expenses

Leading me to believe SOME of our Public Servants have been RAIDING the Library Budget

For things that might be worth doing but they have been going in the backdoor and skimming funds meant for the Library for their own pet projects and now have a problem.

 They spent all the Library money,

Now they have to convince us not to just raise the levy but to raise it almost 600% to the maximum limit?

What will they want to raise next? 

So if you want a healthy sustainable Library and you really care about the Children and the Future of the Library

Vote NO

Tell our public servants to send someone to Des Moines, a city that has twice our population.

But they manage to run their library without spending as much as we do,.

Maybe they have something to teach us?

81% of homes in cedar rapids had internet acces in 2013. Its probably higher now and not to mention the % of people who have acces on phones and or school.

They also live in one the most expensive neighborhoods in Cedar Rapids https://www.google.com/maps/place/811+Augusta+Dr+SE/@42.0062691,-91.6200005,3a,75y,180.51h,82.96t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stxZziAXqZE9oplU0tQ41Gw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x152466b23f1abced!6m1!1e1

I find it somewhat disturbing that the director of the library is making campaing sites to help fund her own lavish lifestyle. Wildly inapropriate..

Good point Jeremy and for the other 19% those who do not have internet access at home?

Why go all the way downtown to the Library for Free WiFi service when they can go to their local Hy Vee where not only is the internet access Free but refills of coffee and pop are free to.  LOL
