I read with interest the article relating to Flowery Branch beautifying downtown that stated "bids came in under the grant amount, so the city scrambled to find other ways to use as much of the money as possible." If I understand this correctly, our local administrations have no concern for saving money, just spending all that they can get and then asking for more. The article stated that was using a Transportation Enhancement grant to complete the project, but required a $50,000 match.
