Salem had to write a "practice" letter to the Mayor of Sugar Land as part of her government lesson. Here it is.
Dear Mayor Thompson,
I think the taxes should be to get police departments. I also think that taxes should be lowered because my fam. and I don't have our roof fixed, still. It is a lot of money for our fam. I'm sorry you got a gun point. I also think that the cupcake law is not fair.
Your citizen,
Salem Price
In case you didn't understand the "gun point" comment our mayor was held up at gun point in his own driveway a couple months back. I think our pricefam. email/website has the child thinking that fam. is an appropriate abbreviation for family. We still haven't had our roof replaced since Ike (we've just been patching it) but it has more to do with insurance deductibles than taxes. She's right though, it is a lot of money. I love that she brought up the cupcake law. I don't know what the mayor can do about it. Maybe tell the state, "Hey this is one of the fittest cities in Texas! Our kids can eat cupcakes anytime anywhere! Just try to stop us!" Every "citizen" would cheer him on.
