Good heavens, $3,000 a day to find emails? No wonder we are being taxed to death to feed the city of Charlotte. Those folks have no idea what stuff should cost.

Or am I nuts? Should it cost $375 an hour for this job?

Bigger point: If we are going to start tracking government expenditures this way, how much did it cost the city to sort through the legal issues surrounding the Whitewater Center? The disputes with Parsons? When it is something the city and city staff want to do cost is no object, it just gets done.

When it is something they do not want to do, oh it is gonna cost ya!

So much for public service.
