The governor wants to raise taxes so there will be enough for education. The Citizen-Times reports Asheville City Council is going to try to get $75,000 from the state to pay for almost half the remaining amount needed to complete a greenway. Most of the money is expected to be spent purchasing rights of way.

Of particular humor is either (a) the subtle way the reporter compared government’s need to spend to the circular logic of addicts or, more likely, (b) the editor danced on the original:

The city wants state help in finishing a greenway that will finish Asheville’s highest profile greenway.
