Another comment on the Raleigh art Project
The N & O, my favorite liberal rag, wrote an article last weekend on the downtown Raleigh art project. It was on the front page and went into great detail about the art project and how it was in jeopardy even though funded by $2.5 million of private money. The article never once mentioned that the project was over budget by $1.7 million. Not once. They just talked about how Raleigh was backwards and didn't want art and the busses couldn't pass under it and we're a bunch of rednecks, etc.
In typical N & O reporting style, they never once mentioned the real issue here and that is that we don't have enough money to build schools and now they want to spend an "extra" $1.7M on this art project. Why can't they do the art project for the $2.5 million? Shouldn't that be the question?
Once again, good job missing the point N & O.
