Believe it or not, I spend my spare time trying to figure Tim Moffitt out. Last night, inspired by the bounteous gifts Asheville City Council agreed to bestow upon the world’s second largest corporation (GE) in the name of feeding the poor (job creation and thus food on the table), H488 suddenly made sense. My latest hypothesis is that Moffitt is trying to give the socialists downtown a taste of their own medicine. Socialists only like to be on the receiving end. H488 would effectively redistribute Asheville’s water assets to the peeps. Then, perhaps those who sit on council who don’t know what it is like to bootstrap themselves from poverty would know what it feels like to have government take from them sums of dough, demand community benefits, impose ex post facto thou-shalt-nots, and force other business-wrecking tools of the trade.
