Libraries? We don't need no stinkin libraries!

[Si modo]

$500,000 budget, of which $30,000 is for books.

Can they post their budget? We'd like to help them solve their financial crisis

Heck, I'd ship them all manner of books if it wasn't so cost prohibitive.

Why don't you write them, Frank?

The better question is why would a reporter, who is reporting about a budget problem, not report the budget itself.

There are very few "good" reporters, and this story is evidence of it.

It sucks when you have to work within a budget. It sucks when you cant spend more money then you have.

It sucks that the libraries will have to stop offering and paying for internet service. Those people can just go back to mailing letter to their kids serving overseas.

Or did we get rid of the post office too?

They can't "post a budget" because there are how many county libraries in Louisiana? Kinda can't believe I fell for that red herring convo change.

Not "A" reporter. Many reporters.

And, it looks like they all suck at their jobs.

But, then again, idiots no longer hold them to any standards. Story about budgets yet no budget information. That's a no-brainer, and look at the "reporters" who have none.

the internets is the debil

You wanted them to list the budgets for all the libraries in Louisiana?

If they don't have a budget, Dear, how to they know the cuts will hurt them?

Surely they must have some vague idea of what costs them $500,000 annually, no?

the internets is the debil

and it is not free...


Maybe if they were better stewards of the money they had, they would still have a few computers and internet service for them.

Why?

Because I think they should live within their means....? I have to... why shouldn't they?

I am speaking the truth.

 

[Avatar4321]

you know, libraries can be funded through private donations.

I think they are quite vital for the future. You can educate yourself free of charge at them.

THIS is exactly the mentality causing in such financial trouble as a nation.

Expectation of financial stewardship = being an ass.

Not "A" reporter. Many reporters.

And yet none of them produce the actual budgets? Are they that lazy or just incompetant?
