Government Mileage


The WayneWho NMU (Neighborhood Monitoring Unit) was out this morning researching future blog entries when we spied a two door subcompact car bearing the school district's logo in the next lane. The conversation topics of government waste, that we were having at the time, turned to silence as the NMU realized that there is always hope that a governmental body will make the right decisions.

We have no idea how many of these economical cars the school district has in their fleet, but we wanted to offer our accolades for their apparent realization that not every government fleet vehicle has to be a full-size sedan, pickup, or SUV. Some elected officials will scream that there is no waste in government spending as we watch the 4-wheel drive gas-guzzling single occupant vehicles roam the neighborhoods, while others it seems, have figured out how to stretch a tax dollar. We feel the school district has made the right decision because, not only are they saving gas, but the cost of acquisition was probably cheaper as well.

If the City of Kissimmee would use more economical vehicles then they could afford to build even more water fountains. It would help make the city pretty.
