Jackcksonville Pork could save teacher jobs for kids

The link below shows you an aerial view of the Jacksonville Florida Equestrian Center. City tax dollars maintain it, and contributed to it's construction. It also has a large area maintained for horse back riding in the near by Forrest.

When the dirt road was paved to the riding area, property owners willing gave land so that no telephone polls would have to be moved. However there is a written city rule that states that land will be taken from the middle of the road, and extended equally on each side. Sounds good. but here are the facts:

• This was a dirt road (dirt roads move). Cars originally drove on one side of the telephone poles (where the deed designated). But when it flooded cars would drive on the other side where the higher ground was making the poles appear as though they were in the middle of the road.
• The City of Jacksonville insisted on using large sums of taxpayer money to move the electric poles, wires and all)
• Neighbors argued that it would make more sense to move the road...common sense saving the taxpayers needed money.
• City officials explained that is not how business is done with the City...you the tax payer shelled out millions. If it is in writing they must follow it no matter how stupid.

That would not be a serious problem if needed school teachers were not facing loss of jobs due to a budget shortage. On the Federal and City books are many such stupid laws, and no one is allowed to out think what is in writing.
