Memorial Day Trees
Memorial Day is a time when we re­
member those who have passed away.
One meaningful way to remember a loved
one is to give a gift o f trees from Friends
of Trees. You can help leave a legacy of
trees for future generations For $25,
Friends o f Trees will plant one seedling
and send a card to family members. For
$50, Friends o f Trees will plant a grove of
six seedlings and send a certificate suit­
able for framing.

Tax Cut Proposed
After hearing Jhat the revenue forecast
for May amounts to an additional $145
million in the General Fund, Senate Presi­
dent Brady Adams recently cautioned
using these additional funds to grow gov­
ernment. The R epublican lawm aker
stated, “We need to look at who needs the
most help and why. I believe this money
would be more appropriately utilized by
providing tax cuts to low income working
families. This new forecast will tempt an
irresponsible spending frenzy that will
grow government beyond what taxpayers
can afford in the future,” Brady said.
