Letter to the editor: Is government for us or against us?
Considering two local stories over the weekend, the state-mandated end of historical reenactments at Bushy Run, which seems to have started with one out-of-state person’s complaint (“Bushy Run Battlefield reenactment canceled amid new state guidelines,” Jan. 28, TribLIVE)) and the plan to spend $3.6 million for a homeless shelter in Westmoreland County (“Westmoreland commissioners approve shelter plan,” Jan. 28, TribLIVE), I ask: Is our government working for us or against us?
The reenactments educated and entertained for decades before the Wolf and Shapiro administrations used the first excuse they could find to serve their true master: wokeism.
Are the 12 shelter beds, at $300,000 each, really expected to solve homelessness as though the issue is simply not having a roof over your head? Which is the lucky neighborhood that gets to have the ne’er-do-well magnet placed in it?
