To the surprise of no one except
the 4 people who voted for it, giving St. Louis County Executive Sam Page
complete control of federal funds designated for COVID-19 relief was not such a
good idea.
Now, even the people who voted to
give Page complete control are questioning whether there is a concrete plan
about how funds are to be spent.
Curiously, at least one of the
people commenting unfavorably still doesn’t regret her vote.
I hope that the people who voted
for her are regretting theirs. There is no room for that kind of naivete in
government. It should have been covered in a Basics of Governing class—Nobody Gets
Full Control.
If they don’t know that, what
other important info are they missing on how to make sure that government works
for the people?
