Too long for Facebook; too important not to see

The following is from a friend in Georgia who was born and raised in Burlington: "If (Colorado's Props. 60, 61 and 101) pass, the consequences will go far beyond “just cutting taxes”. I would suggest that, especially in small towns like Burlington, Limon, Wray, Yuma, etc, the consequences will alter small town life and take the “life” out of the equation of living. If the mandated budget cuts are what is being projected then consider that many of the things that tend to bind a small town together will have to be eliminated. No football, no basketball, no wrestling, no choir, no cheerleading, no extra-curricular activities of any type and probably no library. What courses will have to be cut in schools because there will be no teachers to teach them – history, English, Home Ec, Voc Ag? There is more than enough justification to demand tax cuts because of waste and issues that government has insinuated itself into without placing a death grip on a way of life. These measures are truly draconian, ill-conceived, and obviously not considerate of the consequences." Please, folks. Pass it on!
