Has any else noticed that every time our new president announces some big spending and bailout or restructuring plan the stock market dumps 4-5%. I have and believe it to be intentional. He is in such a hurry to pass everything and change the structure of our whole country and it is a lot easier to have government intervention and total and complete control over everyone and everything when all aspects of our system are in the tank.
Here's hoping Americans will pay attention and make sure where we are headed is where we want to go.
Also of note is that I have stated that it would be irresponsible to not go after some portion of the spending going on in D.C. Since we will ALL be asked to pay our fair share back I think we should get our fair share to begin with. With that in mind the town of Cumberland as obtained a sum of money at 0% interest that we will use on our east interceptor sewer project. We have been working towards this job for some time and had everything ready to be what they call "shovel ready" and we were granted the funding to do so. This will be a huge asset for our town since we will be able to use the Fed's money for the job and pay it back with no interest and do so with out raising any rates. This will allow us to focus our resources on other needy projects and we have also applied for funding for road and infrastructure work as well and it sounds promising.
We have a nice town here and these projects will help us be more noticeable and not forgotten by the entities above us which will no doubt help with our relationship to those entities.
There are a lot of things changing in our world and in our community and with your support and patience I will continue to try to make our small part better.
