Instead of wiping out all funding for nonprofits, the council reduced the city's overall contribution to $295,000."
Public safety is being cut, be the city gave money for a "car show".
Government needs to get back to basic and stop the waste of tax dollars--the poor and middle class pay taxes for cops, not see to a cherry 1966 Mustang.
