At last night’s city council meeting, there was a big brouhaha over whether or not a building should sell naming rights. The Asheville Art Museum is in a lot of deep doodoo as far as insider fiscal conservatives are concerned, but who gives a rotten flip about what the building is called? Arguments against the renaming referred to the real estate as “sacred.”

Overshadowed by the main thing were allegations about corruption in high places in the Asheville Police Department.
