I apologize. My summer vacation is over, and now I have to read Asheville City Council staff reports again, almost all of which I find ridiculous. If one wants to blow taxpayer money out their ears these days, all they need say is “community outreach,” “climate awareness,” and all the other nice buzz words jumbled into this consent agenda item. The bottom line is, the city wants to accept $12,000 from the state for “interactive recycling bins.”
