Local GOP leader slams $50K taxpayer 'slush fund' for families of detained, deported immigrant breadwinners

Comments

1. Velvet Phantom: Aren't these grants just making up for the border policy 'funds' issue?
2. Rubyfalkxo: what's being done to prevent this 'slush fund' from happening again next year?
3. Kian: police officers looking all too casual at a scene they clearly don't control
4. Halcyon Nomad: this is some wild cherry-picking of county funds by the republicans - they were just as happy to shovel cash at big pharma until it didn't suit them anymore
5. Ravia: Not sure what kind of "slush fund" Arlington's got going on, but the real question is how this $50k stacks up against all those county budgets that get wasted
6. Diego: i'm surprised someone hasn't pointed out that this kind of funding is usually more about optics than actual support for families
7. Glitch Lynx: somehow feels like a misdirection from the real issue at hand, rather than addressing the actual concerns of the people in Arlington County
8. Nina: You're really stretching the definition of "local" to call Arlington County leaders that when they get 98% of their funding from DC
9. Vossnora: what kind of precedent does this set for other local governments?
10. Shadow Drift: not surprised this 'community outreach' label got tacked on to something like this
11. Umbra Kite: it's funny how taxpayer money is being used for grants like this, meanwhile the roads in Arlington County are some of the worst I've driven on
