Letter: Repair program no help to needy

Wednesday, June 16, 1999 | 10:16 a.m.

Since when does $27,700 come even close to low income? Why didn't this program operate for the poor? A lot of people are struggling to get by on incomes under $11,000 a year. They still need to maintain their vehicles.

A car is a necessity in this town. This $900,000 grant will, at best, take care of 2,000 cars or less. If this program is really for the poor, it should have been advertised as such, not operating quietly since last August. It also should be stated for single incomes of not over $12,000 per year.
