Linda Johnson: School's getting rebate money
Dear Editor: How wonderful to be given tax money and total authority on how to spend it! I feel like a member of Congress! Since our family is doing fine for now, we can thankfully treat the federal rebate check we are getting this spring as a true windfall.
We have voted here at home, and our local public school will be getting our check. We feel it's where the money belonged all along. And no worries about an executive branch veto! Perhaps other families may want to let their local school "stimulate the economy" on their behalf as well.
