Of course I left a comment there:
$2200 For Each Vehicle? Preventive Maintenance? This is absurd. A blatant waste of the funds. A good example of how we got into this mess in the first place – Unrestrained Greed.
Preventive maintenance is stuff like oil changes, tire rotation and flushing radiators. How much preventive maintenance can you do with more than $2 thousand?
This is our taxpayer dollars, folks.
