Dear Editor,
I am inquiring as to the logic of paying people to go around the entire town with orange paint, marking every blemish on the edge of our sidewalk, 98 per cent of which do not appear to need repair.
This appears to be a fatal waste of our taxpayer dollars. You people should be able to take care of the obvious repairs required without marking up the whole town.
It would seem to me this is the kind of waste that is driving our taxes out of sight.
