Reply to comment by Alecgator94 in Northampton to use pandemic relief dollars for 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' manhole covers by Boston1_
Not even for full custom covers... apparently just art painted onto them. Paint that I'd have to assume is going to wear off in time.
As cool as it is that the town wants to give a nod to them, that doesn't sound too financially reasonable, imo.

That’s a lot of taxpayer money spent on Ninja Turtles that maybe could have gone toward school supplies or food for hungry children.

At least it's not going directly into the pockets of rich people and corporations or the police which is where most of our money goes

The kids will be better served by cool art than whatever 20 grand worth of education and food will do.

Will they? Painted manhole covers?

Best not to have collected the unnecessary taxes in the first place.
