Dear editor,
Government is tasked with providing for its citizenry’s public safety and infrastructure needs.
Besides physical infrastructure such as roads and utilities, it must also provide for its citizens’ informational infrastructure needs.
The library’s budget is less than 5 percent of the general fund or 2 percent of the total budget of the City of Crestview.
With the informational tasks and demands faced by citizens in today’s society, that is unsustainable.
