Did you know that your Selma tax dollars are available for giveaway?

Sec. 10-46. Definitions.
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Grant means a sum of money, not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00), established by the town council each quarter that is available for outside improvements in the D.A.R.E. district and which does not have to be repaid to the program. Moneys for grants are derived from noncommitted funds as described in section 10-52.
("D.A.R.E." refers to the Downtown Area Revitalization Effort.)


That is $2,000 each year that are eligible for give away in the form of grants. I dislike the very principle. No corporate welfare, thank you, regardless of the small amount. We need to abolish this program.
