Said 1800 is spent for household expenses, Wal-mart and such.........tax money paid for taxes. So you are wrong in the assumption that they pay their share of taxes.
If you had lived here before the big plants, which I doubt some of you have, you would remember Downtown Dodge being full of stores. You would remember when Miller and Sunnyside schools were mostly Hispanic and had the BEST scores of any schools. You would remember when the word Mexican was not connected to illegal alien.
These plants have brought nothing but waste to this town, and our greedy leaders have been more than happy to let it deteriate around us since none of them had to deal with them. When your workforce is made up of roughly 85% uneducated people, and they have uneducated families with them, what do you expect they will do for a town or community? |
$1800 from SRS?? What is your source of information???
