OUR LIBRARIES

Well, it's looking like we may have NO public library system in WNY. The legislature has to vote on a resolution by midnight tonight and they are fighting and can't seem to compromise. If they don't find some common ground, then the massive budget cuts made by the county executive will take effect Jan 1st.

We already can't take out any more books, as of yesterday. I cannot imagine how this could happen. Who could possibly let it happen. It's politics as usual. First Bush gets re-elected and now I'm going to be living in a place with no philharmonic, no libraries, and likely, no chorus (of which I have been a part for 10 years).

I can't imagine a reason to stay here if we don't even have any of this. What the hell? I am too disgusted to even write anything more.
