The Poor Paying the Rich

The Poor Paying the Rich

In this difficutly economic time, every dollar counts. I think it's wrong for this town to fund any amount to the Catholic school.

"... The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence..." (Daily Paul)

In 2012, the Church readily spent 2 million dollars to fight marriage equality, but it cannot fund one of its schools?

If an Islamic school approached the town for help to educate its 50 students, would the select board and finance committee so readily approve $3,300? Likely not.

If the Catholic Church, probably the wealthiest institution in the world, cannot fund its own school, perhaps the school should close.

I'd be curious to hear Mark Belanger's opinion on this item.
