taxpayer funded limo rides

Take a look at this local news story. It's been a long time since something pushed my buttons like this.

Nothing surprises me anymore. Right now, there is a hullabaloo over the fact that the mayor and an aid spent over $10,000 on limousines "sightseeing: in Europe. And it wasn't just any ole limousine.....It was a MERDECES limousine.....Only the best for our mayor! grrrrrrr

I'm at a complete loss as to how someone approved using limosines for welfare transportation in the first place!

Another thing that bothers me; is this will give anyone who is forced to use welfare to get back on their feet, or create a decent life for themselves. Millions of people don't want to be on welfare, and they work their *** off trying to create a better life for themselves and their family; then these people come along, and abuse the system, creating a bad name for them all. Quite akin to one police officer making a mistake.

I guess if it keeps the Democrats in power it will be alright to spend our money that way.
