The Social Services Committee voted 4-1 against awarding any money out of this year’s budget to our food pantries. Why? Because they wouldn’t comply with a forced merge? 580 families were helped last month alone. People who didn’t choose their lot in life but for whatever unfortunate circumstances, find themselves going to food pantries to feed their families ”“ their children! Think of that, committee members when you go freely to the grocery store and purchase your steak, chicken, hamburg, vegetables, etc. When you sit down at your dinner table, breakfast table or go “out” to lunch to your favorite lunch spot and “fill up.” Shame follows you now.
Who do our council members work for and who pays their salaries?
Cheryl Graveline, Biddeford
