Stark has a population of about 6000 people. They’re getting grants of $15.9 Million. That amounts to $2650 per person. Grants are money that doesn’t get paid back.
While these projects are worthwhile, certainly, where is all this money coming from that the USDA is spreading around?
Taxpayers from around the country.
When this all comes due, there’s going to be some rough accounting done.
