The City this year received 20 applications for GPET funds from various local nonprofits and government agencies. The total amount requested is $549,300. Mayor Rich Bridger’s recommendations for the requests is $503,500. City Administrator Stu McRae gave a presentation before the Council and Mayor Bridger at a study session earlier this week.

One of the hallmarks of a free country is a free press. That’s why I and many of my friends listen to Sheridan Media Radio stations and read this website. They have a tendency to present both sides of an issue and allow healthy discussion.
How are tax-money is spent is of vital importance to a healthy Republic.
I’m of the opinion that lower taxes are always preferred and that tax money be spent only on essential services like: police , courts and basic infrastructure.
I look forward to other thoughts on how our tax money is spent.
