[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2201850, member: 1132"] A cheap above ground shelter that will cover a family of four will run you about $2,500. How much for a shelter that will cover 40? 400? 1,200? Now take that times the number of facilities in the state that congregate children. Schools, day care facilities, churches, etc. It's a LOT of money. Now how many kids have died in schools, etc. because of shelter deficiencies? It wouldn't be much more cost effective than assigning a cop for every 10 citizens, rather than the norm of one per 1,000. One big issue I take with your premise is the expectation that the government do your bidding for you. You want it? I suggest you pony up your time and start a school bond drive in your district for them. Better yet, run for the school board and increase your odds of success. While you're at it, start a fundraising drive to get them built. School boards control more money in the state of Oklahoma than pretty much all local governments. Get involved if you see an issue. Don't sit back and complain from the comfort of your keyboard because others aren't doing what you'd like. :disappoin [/QUOTE]
