Save the CCC

This is just another example of poor management in our government service from the top. They are always speaking of investing tax dollars into programs that develop income back to make-up some of the expense.

The CCC is one of those programs, not only in receiving actual money for the partnerships developed, but for the long-term out-comes many members of the Corps have become.I was listening to my Foster Father once telling a story about the work the CCC's had done around Fish Lake. To me, it was impressive knowing how it was before and is now because of the work done over 50 years ago that we are benefitting from to day.

Our Government Representative should take a step back and reconsider how they do business in serving the needs of the people. As a disabled individual, I see a lot of waste in programs offered and often provide suggestions on how to save money and still provide the same service (Also, some services are more than what is needed.).

Our State, as well as our Federal government needs to reconsider how they do business in providing services. One of the first places to begin is at the top, especially with per diem for our Representatives - 55 cents a mile for use of your private vehicle? We don't get paid this for driving back and forth to work, though we can clasim tax deductions; why not he same for our Representatives.

I hope more write to our Reps to keep the CCC.
