I think I shall get a loan for $1 million. I will use it to create jobs. I’ll hire a lawyer, a garbage man, an electrician to put up a street light, . . . I haven’t quite decided on my other services. To pay the debt back, I will call those in my employ, and maybe a few other suckers, a city and tax them.

I only whine because Hendersonville leadership ran up a bunch of debt for stuff like park improvements, perpetual demolition zones on Main Street, and public/private investments. Now – surprise, surprise – they must raise taxes 3 cents. (1, 2)
