Re: More Typical Misplaced Government Priorities
Since you obviously don't know much about the town itself, you wouldn't know that they've already done a tremendous amount of updating in the school system, including replacing the schools themselves. The system languished for years.
Perth Amboy has always been, for the most part, a lower middle-class, immigrant town - with one nationality succeeding the other in waves as the decades have passed. It was always a heavily industrial town - one that most of you in suburbia or less populated regions would look down on - but in the past few decades it has lost its heavy industry to globalization and its better-class retail businesses to the area malls. It is a town with an excellent waterfront location that is trying to reinvent itself and keep itself vibrant, instead of sliding into decay and oblivion. They are doing what they can, with whatever private and public money they can get their hands on, to improve the town in a myriad of ways - most of them for the better, IMO.
More power to them if they can actually create that wireless canopy. I wish the town I currently live in took that kind of initiative.
