Just a week after Durham Mayor Bill Bell’s subtle suggestion that only losers take the bus comes this money quote from Davidson County Commissioner Don Truell regarding the proposed Thomasville bus route:
“I know we can’t cut the tax rate all the time,” said Truell, who hopes the fare for the bus will be $1 to $2. “We’ve got the tax rate as low as we can, so this is one way we can give a service to all these unemployed, where they can make their little checks stretch a little bit.”
Bless his little heart.
