People are what matter most

In the beginning, they projected the cost of the new Mega Park in Eastern York County at $20 million. After years of smoke and mirrors, that figure has ballooned to $50 million. It would be great if we knew it would stop there, but unlike baseball salaries there is no guaranteed cap. Lori Mitrick and Doug Kilgore obviously think the sky is the limit. After all, it’s our money they’re freely spending.

Everyone needs reminders now and again. Let’s remind Mitrick and Kilgore that the end product will not justify their means of getting there. We should all remember that people are what matter most. It is completely inexcusable to step on others as we climb our own ladder of success. When we forget who and what are important, it becomes easy to justify our unethical and immoral decisions. Help me hold Lori Mitrick and Doug Kilgore accountable on election day.
