Town Services are a Category Unto Themselves.

Sounds quite Christmasy. But no... we are not speaking of a fruity variety.
We speak of programs organised and offered by volunteer groups who give hundreds of hours of their time to provide the community, particularly children,with opportunity for a well-rounded experience. Discovering attributes and achieving the satisfaction of trying and succeeding.
As well as parent hours spent teaching and coaching and raisinng funds, the municipality provides facilities for their needs.
They are not free.
They are shared.
Every effort is made to achieve financial viability.
Hundreds of thousands of tax dollars are not doled out to groups with exclusive use of free facilities with maintenance and utilities thrown in to boot.
Adding insult to injury, while parents work hard to provide opportunity for children and pay taxes demanded by the town for the services utilised, the tax revenues they paid are being handed out the back door to an agressive and abrasive group completely confident of their entitlement.
Whatever way it's twisted , these circumstances can not be justified.
