Perhaps, perhaps not, but waste is waste, and money isn't the only thing
being wasted.  Even the Womens' Committee's own creative talents are a
limited resource, which could have been put to better use, such as
designing nice flower beds to be placed at strategic locations
throughout the city.  (-:  Only kidding!  :-)

Correct, but they are the easiest way to take them to task.  Perhaps
more sensible methods exist now, but the most effective weapon the law
used to be able to throw at illicit phone tappers was "stealing
electricity".
