Why is government always spending money on random, impractical shit when there is always a ton of stuff that
needs to be fixed? This is really starting to piss me off lately. The city of San Luis just spent upwards of 1/2 million dollars on police enforcement for ONE WEEKEND in order to completely shut down any and all Mardi Gras celebrations here. Riot gear squads, cops on every block, command centers, remote cameras all over the city, full page ads in the papers & TV commercials warning people to "Stay home, and stay safe", "The party's over", etc. (WTF!?)
Meanwhile, this city has some of the worst roads I've ever seen and every time it rains new potholes open up.
Thanks guys, for a real brilliant use of our money... morons.
