I agree with you. At the same time, when you make the decision, as a municipal official, to support this or that program, based on the terms and conditions of that program, you are also choosing to abide by the preconditions of that program. Deciding not to participate is also a choice for a municipality, because elected officials may feel they are not in a position to abide by the criteria which have allowed others to avail themselves of the program. Do you understand what I mean?
