Where's the emotional issue? This is Amherst, we only pour tax money into causes. Nope, no homeless people, single mothers, low income housing, some other country, or even a stained glass window. What kind of town would we be if we used peoples tax money to repair a public way. Oh the shame it would bring on us all.
