Severe? Yes... Appropriate? Yes...
I see nothing wrong with helping those who help themselves...
The only downfall is the fact that the families who have ancestors whose
stones need restored pay the price...but obviously they weren't going to get
repaired or restored anyway.

I attended a Pioneer Cemetery Preservation Committee of the Delaware County
Historical Society 8/17/06. Very seldom do township trustees attend the
meeting. All township trustees in Delaware County know that we exist and
have meetings the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm. A motion was made
to ask all the township trustees to attend or send a representative to our
monthly meetings and if they didn't attend, cemeteries in their township
would be placed on lower priority on our preservation list. If they come to
our meetings they will be matched up with a person on who will work with
them generating volunteers in their township. The motion was passed. What do
you think? It the penalty too severe?
