I think we should suggest ridding ourselves of E-Check once and for all, statewide. Now somebody with the time please see how close that comes to making up the $200 million.<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ilbasso@hotmail.com<br>To: neohiopal@listserve.com<br>Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:27:48 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [NEohioPAL] Libraries<br><br>

Can we not state opinions as though they are absolute facts? Not taking sides here, but it peeves me whenever anyone declares their opinion is the way it so obviously is.<br>

<div><font size="4" face="B0bmono"></font><br></div>You will make no impact at all unless your "Don't cut off the libraries!" is accompanied by some viable suggestion as to what to do to generate that money. Raising taxes in a down economy is a bad idea, so you're going to have to suggest which budget item or items should be cut to keep that $200+ million coming to the state's libraries.
<div><br></div>
<div>Cut Medicaid? Close all the state parks? Close prisons and put the convicts into crowded cells at the other prisons, or release hundreds or thousands of them? Cut aid to the schools? To colleges and universities?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I use my library a great deal and have always voted in favor of library tax issues but, frankly, aid to the state's 251 public libraries would rank below any of those things mentioned above.</div>
