  1. If “a friend” doesn’t provide us with their name, it is the same as having something from “anonymous” and one can’t really give it true credence if you don’t know the source.

    If someone is not willing to take credit for their analysis of data, why should we be willing to credit it with being valid?

  2. I’m guessing your friend found this info online & put into chart form.

    Probably ANYONE could have done this & the above person is just being OVERLY CRITICAL !

    So sad that people have to constantly nitpick & critize today .

  3. Can you explain what these numbers mean?

    Just trying to understand what I am reading.

  4. All of the Township numbers or just Township fund and not Road funds?

  5. Cal: I can’t really follow this. What do the numbers actually translate to..?
