Is This What You?re Defending?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

For the people who are opposed to government restructuring and reform, let me ask you three questions?

1. Are you defending the school district in Southern Indiana where the school board voted to give itself the same taxpayer-funded health insurance its teachers and administrators have?
2. Are you defending the Mayor of one of the largest cities in Northern Indiana who drove to Indianapolis in a taxpayer-paid for Hummer H3 to tell state lawmakers his city is strapped for cash and it needs to raise the property tax caps on business?
3. Are you defending the  Central Indiana township trustee that spends more than $2.50 to administer every $1 of poor relief?

If this isn’t what you’re defending, what are you trying to protect?
