Charlotte's Money Surplus
The city of Charlotte has too much money! Literally! They honestly believe they have collected too much money from the taxpayers, and they do not know what to do with it! I couldn't make this crap up -- they're serious.
Now, predictably, greedy moochers are lining up by the droves to try and claim the money. Some want it for more arts development, some want roads, some want "Travel and tourism" expenditures. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, there's NO ONE lining up to represent the taxpayer. There's not ONE member of the bureaucracy, not ONE city council member standing up and saying what a real statesman would say, and what honestly SHOULD be said: "We collected too much from the taxpayer. Let's give it back to the people who worked hard and earned it."

C'mon man, thats just the council members bragging, if they want they can always just stick it in the back or put it to use with doing up some extra facilities of some sort.

You can be sure they won't buy more roads or policemen with it.
