This week is set aside as a time to honor those who make life a little better by the work they do without pay to help others. It’s National Volunteer Week. It’s also a time to consider becoming involved in solving local problems and helping organizations that benefit communities and the nation. More than a quarter of us do some sort of volunteer work. This is a trend that cuts across age categories, with those 18 to 24 donating about the same number of hours of their time as those 65 to 74 years old. The average volunteer donates about an hour a week of their time with religious, youth, and educational organizations benefiting the most. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.
Discuss and more on they Open Lines!
Here’s a poser for city councilors: check and see how many PROPERTY OWNERS have been arrested for drug and other crimes vs. RENTERS arrested for drugs, and other crimes.
THEN decide if you wish to grant more rental properties with Section 8 subsidies.
I know a lot of good people who rent. However, none of them are allowing Uncle Sam to help pay their keep. Prudence you ask a very good question. There simply is too much subsidized housing in Henderson. Open the classifieds on any given day and it’s right there. When an ad states that your rent is based on your income then that is a red flag.
Couldn’t agree more. Now get 5 council members to agree with you. I know two.
