This kind of program has everything to do with the current administration.  The funds are federal, are they not? As I said, this program is a total waste of taxpayer money.  I'm puzzled.  It seems that you and I agree that the program is a waste of taxpayer money. These federally funded (ie. federally funded in the beginning) like the expanded Medicaid offered to the State of Alaska. The federal funds dry up and the local and state taxpayers are left holding the bag. The initial sponsored funding is taxpayer money whether the program is offered to the state or the local community. The result is the same, federal involvement in something that should be reserved for the states and local communities.  This is a perfect example of the current administration over stepping it's bound as put forth by our Constitution. "The Powers not delegated to the United States by theConstitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states respectively or the people."The Tenth Amendment.
