Indiana town rushes to spend taxpayer money on Planned Parenthood
The Monroe County Council (including Bloomington, IN and Indiana University) have scheduled a last minute meeting to approve more funding (of taxpayer dollars) for the local Planned Parenthood. They’ll also be taking public comment on giving themselves a $12k raise. This is a governing body that normally likes to make a show of diversity, understanding and tolerance. How tolerant and understanding is it to local Muslims, Jews, Christians and others who find Planned Parenthood’s practices reprehensible?
Our elected county commissioners (actually council) don’t normally vote on this so early in the year and the amount ($3,000) is piddling. Or should I say symbolic? Their newspeak for it is a “community service grant.” It’s hard to see this as anything other than our commissioners expediting the vote in order to make a public show of solidarity with their Neo-Nazi friends whose bloody deeds have twice recently been protested by hundreds out in front of their South Walnut “public service” abortuary…
“Poor persecuted Planned Parenthood,” Monroe County Commissioners say to one another. “We must act in solidarity with them right away. We can’t delay until our normal funding votes in October. Now is the time for all good commissioners to come to the aid of their fellow baby-slaughterers. We’ll show our ignorant backward taxpayers down there making a public stink about dead babies. We’ll use their tax dollars to make our own political donation to these baby-killers—that’ll teach them!”
So they’ve scheduled a quick vote tomorrow at 5:30 PM (normally this is on their agenda in October or November) to demonstrate their solidarity with baby-slaughterers by awarding Planned Parenthood a “public service grant.” – LINK
William Ellis, a local, tells us, “This is also the same work session where there will be public comment on the commissioners asking for a $12k raise! Hopefully, we can pack the house for both.”
Perhaps these council members should hear just how tolerant they are being?
They’ve scheduled their vote for 5:30 PM up on the third floor of the County Courthouse on the Square. Here’s the address: Nat U. Hill III Meeting Room #315, Courthouse 100 West Kirkwood Avenue, Bloomington IN 47404.
