Actually, when I was in high school, one of my buddies went to City Hall and asked to look at the books...school project and all. Must have been something he picked up at home, as his family wasn't from around here, and his folks were smarter than the average bear.

THAT didn't go over very well.

I have mentioned the CAFR in polite conversation with people who have knowledge of it, and the conversation turned cold both times.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no percentage in arousing the local fathers since I live here.

and if you don't and you live there who will?

The State does publish this information, it's just that no one talks about it.

It was public knowledge that Senator Corker who railed against the GM bailout was also behind offering Volkswagen $500 million to build their US plant in his state.

Do you have the link handy?

Or does it need a slew of accountants to explain it?

Get the goods on your own dirty little county!!!

And no, it doesn't require an accountant to explain it.

No link, but I did download the PDF file to my E drive.
