All of the zeroes add up to real money

The city of Sandpoint Public Works Department wants $20 million for the FIO communication system for city.

My first thought was I realize in these days of Obamaism funding, that is a minor piddling amount, but would it affect the imminent plan for IECEC funding of $21 million that is needed by our Joe Young for his planned system?

Today I read that KVD wants another $20 million for water system. I hope all the zeroes don’t confuse anyone, I just wanted the next generation to understand that after awhile it does add up to real money. I sincerely hope that the big “O” doesn’t run out of money too soon.
