Wouldn’t it be refreshing to have some of this money used to create jobs for our youth? If you give a youth a job, that keeps him off of the street where he is susceptible to the temptations of drugs and violence. At the same time, they are taught a work ethic and cultivate the hunger to make something out of their lives. This would achieve three goals instead of just one and gives all of our youth an equal opportunity to benefit from this grant money. I guess this just makes too much common sense.

The local library system has excellent GED resources and great programs that help keep kids off the street.

Project Crossroad does incredible work, filling a need in this community that no other group was willing to address. They help high risk youth earn a GED, teach life skills to troubled teens, and invest many (unpaid) hours finding ways to help keep kids off the streets. Check out what all they do before you pass judgment. People can learn from their mistakes – especially ones that result in sitting in a federal prison. I just hope this hatchet piece doesn’t result in funding and services being taken away from the youth of our County! Tell me, Ms. Schwerzler, do you plan to fill the void if you succeed in getting their funding eliminated?
