Letter: $500,000 here, $500,000 there

Today ( March 9th ) I read on the front page of The Lima News that the Allen County Commissioners might be considering opting out of their annual building inspection contract with the city of Lima, which would see Lima lose $500,000. Then in Section B, I read the commissioners want to allocate $500,000 of the proposed sales tax increase to the County Engineers office.

Looks like pretty simple math to me.
