Why is it a Texas law that you can't embargo Israel?
I think you're missing the point, even if you're correct to criticize her reporting.
I don't care if San Marcos wanted to redistribute the $4 million to its residents, put it toward a new concert arena, or launch it into outer fucking space.
Why are municipal governments not permitted sovereign discretion over what to do with their own resident's money?
Suppose there are two houses, A and B, across the street from your home. What would you think if you found out that house A consistently gave money to house B from their disposable income? If you ask "the Man" of house A why this is the case, and he says, "I have to," what are you going to assume? House B controls house A. That's the problem here, not whether San Marcos wanted to do dumb shit with their money. It's about whether it's the citizens' money being used for the citizens' benefit. Granted, we're dealing with two levels of problem here. I live in house A along with all of my other fellow Americans. I want tax dollars used intelligently. But before we get to that analysis, I want to make sure my money isn't being redirected to somebody from a different fucking family.
