As a Missourian, I am outraged by Governor Nixon's short changing of Libraries.

Libraries are a fundamental pillar of the community. They offer a safe refuge for children to learn. They provide Internet access to those who cannot afford it at home. They protect our greatest literary treasures. Librarians, the saints that they are, are the keepers of keys to the world of books. They are the ones who take someone who liked The Hunger Games or Harry Potter and help guide them into lifelong readers. Libraries, like education, cannot provide a hard-and-fast return on investment. Funding a library is funding the future.

Do you want fewer jobs in our cities? Do you want higher rates of uneducation? Do you want more people unqualified to do the jobs in this state? Do you want to prevent those without access to the internet in their home to not be able to use public libraries computers to find jobs? Do you want to cut spending to things that support our communities? CAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
