Doyle Heffley’s office announced that nearly $330,000 in grants has been awarded to more than two dozen volunteer fire and emergency service organizations in Carbon County.
Every year Heffley combs the state budget, hunting for surplus funds that he can direct to Carbon County. He is relentless in his search, looking for appropriations he can funnel to volunteer fire companies. He personally examines all of the state’s appropriations, and when he finds unused tax revenues sitting around, he grabs them and puts them into Carbon County.
Recently he voted to cut the drug treatment program, no doubt so he could take those funds and give them to the Bowmanstown Fire Company and other fire companies. At least that is how I think it works.
The amazing thing is that he does this out of the goodness of his heart. Although some of the grant money comes from Incumbency Re-Election Act funds, Doyle cares only about helping fire companies and emergency services. The fact that his office did not announce any grants for Summit Hill has nothing to do with the fact that Summit Hill is not in his district and was simply an oversight on his part.
That Doyle.
