The City of Asheville is taking a move in the right direction – I think. Council is expected to again raise user fees for its clay tennis courts closer to a rate that will cover costs. I never liked the idea of George Washington’s fire getting into the tennis business. I might hold my tongue if you tell me it is to provide opportunities for poor, depraved inner-city youth. But if government is becoming just another gym, why should it knock commercial vendors out of the market?
