It appears that Ike Leggett has a greater concern for Day Labor Centers than our Children and their education. Ike’s second act in office will be to replace a planned library in Derwood, part of the Shady Grove Sector Plan, with a day labor center. Tell Ike we do not need day labor centers replacing libraries.

It needs to be stopped.
