The Story | Rhome begins its traffic camera
program - the dumbest idea in the city's history - by issuing 90
warning tickets in one day. |
News worthiness | **** |
The Spin | 90! If that is any indication of
the number of tickets this program will issue, get ready for the Wrath
of The Media to roll into Rhome within the month. (And a little math:
90 a day at 30 days a month = 2700 tickets. Average fine of $150 will
reap $405,000 a month and $4.8 million a year.) What a disaster. |

runs into a bank in Boyd in an effort to dislodge the bank's ATM. |

The Messenger, while oddly foregoing

some "fun facts" from 2006 including: 425 marriage records filed in the
county and 391 divorces filed. |

The Spin | That's almost enough to make
me want to bring back the Illegitimate Birth Count last printed at the
bottom of the page here.
(That was 1/3 of all births, by the way.) |
