Here is an opportunity for citizens to use quarantine time productively:
Educate yourselves about local government taxing and spending.
Learn what the law requires, and scour local expenditures for instances of violations of these laws.
Example:
School board consent agendas typically represnt millions of dollars a month that voting board members never bother to check for legality, accuracy, or legitimacy of need.
If You have time to twat or Facebook, then you hsve time to go through the consent agenda of expenditures line by line, determine legitimacy of each payment.
This goes for every local taxing body.
Extraordinary powers are being seized by small governments all over America.
The least citizens can do is document and analyze every action and especially expenditure.
Who is getting public money/contracts, who is denied money, what if any relationships exist between grantors and recipients?
Document, document, document. During this crisis there is nothing we can do, but afterward there can be analysis of anything improper...so long ss the action was recorded.
Vigilance of government behavior can provide a deterrent to governmental bad actions.
In 2008 crisis nobody was watching.
Let’s not make that mistake again.
