To date, sixty-nine proposals for using your future tax assessments (or money you could use to bribe somebody for your freedom if the federal deficit gets bad enough) have been posted on the City of Asheville’s “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” web site. Needs range from an ACORN affiliate’s desire to create living wage jobs to an organization aptly named Liberty Corner’s need to create a green café. In the interest of transparency, my proposal for refusing stimuli remains unposted.
