Tax dollars, watered down

There are times when you just have to wonder who’s thinking these days.

Tuesday morning, a team of two were busy watering the hanging baskets out front of our office on Milltown Boulevard in St. Stephen.

This would be Tuesday, June 8, the second day after five centimetres of rain deluged the area, and the day after baseball folks were hoping for a string of warm, sunny days to dry out soggy, water-laden baseball fields.

In other words, on a day when the last thing needed was a couple of workers watering already-soaked baskets, the town of St. Stephen sent out two staff to water the aforementioned already-soaked baskets.

Your tax dollars at work.
