Item: Adams: No on all proposals tied to federal funding/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: City Councilman Steve Adams said this week he will not support any city proposal tied to federal funding. The new councilman voted Monday against extending a grant administration contract with Panhandle Area Council that helps the city allocate federal dollars it receives each year to assist low- to moderate-income families. Saying he was "philosophically opposed" to accepting federal money, Adams said he didn't plan to approve projects or contracts tied to national funds. "We've taken someone else's money and decided to give it to someone else," he said of federal grants. "And the federal government's broke to begin with."

Question: Do you agree/disagree with Adams' position on federal funds?
