I’ve been watching the Buncombe County Commissioners’ last meeting on YouTube. They have to build a health complex because state and federal requirements for certified personnel to handle their excessive paperwork, as well as mandated logistics, have made the existing facility fall short of compliance. In discussing ways to recover costs of expansion, Chair David Gantt asked if the county might allow an upscale restaurant on top to take advantage of the amazing views. Then, remembering the generous subsidy the county would receive from rich Uncle Sam, he added, “The Fed would certainly frown on private enterprise up there.”
