Life Of Jason

Sarah Overstreet has a good column today in the Springfield News-Leader regarding what can be done with some of the “bounty.”  She had an especially good idea when she said:

“Still, areas I’d like to see those unnecessary gratuities go for are more help for poor customers struggling with utility bills (the ones who haven’t run up years-old records of welshing on their bills and then screaming “not fair” later) ; lower bus fares for poor workers; and more bus shelters for people who have to rely on the bus for transportation.”

If CU has the money for “charity” then they could easily make do with helping their customers directly in the ways Sarah suggested in her column.  There also seem to be some improvements that can be made to the Access Express program to help the disabled in our community be more productive and also reduce their costs to use the service.

Charity begins at home.  For CU, that means it has to start with their customers here in the city of Springfield.
