I may be new to town, but there is something seriously wrong when a program such as an evening's news story about the closure of a horse-back riding camp, which was providing physical and emotional therapy to needy children, is closed down due to zoning laws. Heavens, are there so many programs working that you can afford to close down one that IS on a mere technicality?

"Right makes might," Harry Truman once said. This program was right for the community, and for its participants. It not only should be funded on a regular basis, but I would think a zoning issue like this - where the stakes are so high - should be able to be handled expeditiously, or else there's more waste in the government than I thought.

Voters should remember what is done now by our reps - we're voting this year, and it's time to make our voices heard to those who claim to represent our 'best interests'.
