Watch the brains at work (part 2)

City budget cut sends message about tourism
Roanoke's city manager says other beneficiaries don't pay their fair share to the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Read this article, and wonder. The petty fighting with Roanoke County is really taking us places. And I can understand the "city manager" having a role in the CVB, but being a member of the board? And the Salem Director of Civic Facilities, being treasurer?

Oh lead us, grand Sachem.. In the name of St. Tammany.

Nope, I guess I wasn't far off base when it comes to the bizzare corruption(*) inherent in local politics.

*- While not exactly corruption, per se; it all does smack of conflict of interests, insider information, and bad politics. Take it for what its worth.
