A blurb from today's Publisher's Lunch newsletter:
"The SF Chronicle reports that a county in southern Oregon is preparing to close all 15 of their (recently renovated) libraries after the system lost $7 million in federal funding, comprising 80 percent of its budget. 'The library crisis has stirred accusations of county mismanagement, children's protests in the streets, and a backlash against a proposed property tax to keep the libraries open,' the paper says.
Voters turned down a property tax increase in November that would have generated the necessary revenue to support the libraries."
It's ironic that such a beautiful state is populated by idiots.
ReplyDeleteOkay...that's sad, but this may cheer you up. It's just what you always wanted, or at least did want a few months ago...
