Interesting idea in the Snooze Press

There is a guy in Sanibel who wrote a joke letter to the editor saying
Trump should fund his wall with a Go Fund Me page. It is not a
horrible idea. If all of the true believers sent him 20 bucks he would
go a long way towards building that wall and not spend a dime of my
money on it.
By a like token, if everyone ****ed about sitting in traffic would
send the state $10 they could fix the damned bridge.
But the government would probably divert the money somewhere else.
Berkeley was the first city to enforce a soda tax. Stated it would all be
used for child obesity and child health. But goes in the general fund.
Mayor said they were going to use it to fund budget shortfall. Big stink,
so mayor and council have backed off. I guess since it is in the general
fund is legal to divert. But I would like to see a fraud indictment on any
council official that's diverts any of the money. They stated it would
only be used for child obesity, etc. to get the tax passed. Seems like a
great case for fraud.
