Good uses of government include funding basic research, laying out infrastructure and communication networks, and helping coordinate the provision of utilities and basic minimums of good citizenship. These efforts promote the general welfare and facilitate smooth functioning of the economy. Poor uses of government include picking winners and losers or allowing government to be usurped by special interests, corporate money or nepotism. Those approaches have ways of separating taxes from individuals and reallocating them to uses that lack voter consent, implicit or otherwise. Giving government such a role is very dangerous for small communities with thin tax bases.

Young hasn't earned a return trip to office
As Joe Young goes around crowing about how he “solved” the Green Owl problem, I can only say, “excuse me?” By secretly purchasing an unsuitable parcel in the first place, Joe is the one who created the problem — it was only the hard work and dedication of the Green Owl Citizens Advisory Committee that brought a resolution. Joe attended only one meeting, and his input was minimal — as a member of the committee I know this first-hand.
