The Mountain Xpress has announced, for anybody who doesn’t check in with the Buncombe County Commissioners’ web site daily, that a postponed budget work session will take place tomorrow at noon. It is just as well, as people wanting outside agency funding will be pleading their cases for a piece of a $4.2 million set-aside. That sounds like fodder for a reality TV show, no? Well, I have been kicking around another idea for redistributing the wealth of late. It consists in the have-nots going into business creating goods and services the haves would want to buy from them. It’s just a daydream.
