Shame Of The City
The death of two children, ages 1 and 5, who were hit by a truck this week along West Tyvola Road has neighbors and family rightfully asking if the tragedy could have been averted. The area has a dire need of sidewalks, they say, for which they’ve long petitioned the city.
City officials acknowledge the need is real, but claim bond money for sidewalks has run dry. It’s an argument that rings hollow. Taxpayer money of any sorts is fungible, as government bureaucrats and elected officials at all levels prove time and again, shifting funds from one pot to another as their desires strike.
Two children are dead because the City of Charlotte has no money for sidewalks.
No. Money. At. All … None.
Tragic.
