COMMENT: Extra Burden on Cities and Towns

Submitted by Catherine Jackie Mitchell on 12/6/07 5:05 AM

Cities and towns in rural areas should not have to bear the extra burden that you are suggesting. Each city and town must be "on their own".

If a city or town volunteers their services then that is a wonderful thing. While being resilient ourselves we must also look to our neighbors needs and assist when possible.
