The press is invited to certain events of the 2010 Fall Meeting of the North Carolina Metropolitan Mayors Coalition, which will be held in Asheville. The first event to which the press is invited is a noon luncheon September 23 in the Bosendorfer Salon of the Grand Bohemian Hotel. The next event is the awards ceremony and dinner, to be held at 6:00 pm, and hosted by AT&T. (Say what you want about crony capitalists, at least taxpayers aren’t paying for this one – until they subsidize the kickbacks. For all I know, AT&T will feed the mayors stones for sending jobs overseas and supporting net neutrality.) Back at the Grand Bohemian, September 24 at 11:00, the mayors will “be talking about what they discussed” at their Asheville meeting, their legislative agenda, and other topics of interest.
