Local sellers oppose it citing budget strain and past holiday tolls, while Ed Doolittle, Zeke Grubb, and Clem Webster critique costs and pen prices amid Great Society themes. The piece also notes anti poverty actions and jail concerns, with skepticism about national celebrations and political messaging.
