'They Have a Different Definition of Need Than Do Many Citizens'

A look at some of the comments from Patch account holders in the region.

From Brookfield Readers:

"I oppose any plan to set aside money that might be used for the future bacause our leaders have a tendency to determine need for those funds and they have a different definition of need than do many citizens. I like pay as you go especially in very uncertain times like the one we are facing fo the next five to ten years."
