Havre de Grace Maritime Museum kicks out its boat building school, takes its tools, then gets a grant for “hands on” projects for kids. What a joke. I hope that.
Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna $467 for the purchase of a carbon monoxide tester. Couldn’t they have gotten a free one from the fire department like everyone else?
Really glad this is not tax payer money going to this. Or is it?
The Humane Society of Harford County kills the majority of cats that are unfortunate enough to end up at their facility and gets $300 for the Healthy Felines program. Ironic?
What a waste of pussies.
