- Does anyone see the word “fare” in this story on CATS wanting $60K from Gaston County to help pay for a very popular express bus route into Charlotte? Need money? Raise the damn fares! Airlines do it. Why is this hard?
- July 4th travel may decline this year. Whoa. That would slap the beach communities who have been in a building frenzy.
- Wachovia is looking to cut “every expense” it can. Does that include big splashy golf tourneys at Quail Hollow? We already know there will be no Tiger.
- Downeast Kleptocracy throws a reporter out of budget meeting in Raleigh. Film at 11….scratch that. No one really cares.
- That mystery $4m. increase in the mortgage payment faced by Eastland’s owner? Turns out city economic development czar Tom Flynn was just guessing back in March, or so a reporter relates. The number was always $42m. Anything else just a guess?
- “Robin Hood Tax” on the ballot in Santa Fe for spring. So, it begins.
- Still trying to figure out why the Uptown paper of record wants to mislead readers on ozone. Oh, nevermind.
