Thomason Tracts

Insanely long headline drags me across picket lines

Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford wants to boost sales tax by a penny, to 10 cents total, plus double business license fees to help build domed stadium, improve mass transit, fire and police departments- al.com

Briefly breaking the strike to say that there’s really nothing I can add to that, except that the subtitle of the article is, “‘It’s high time we do something,’ mayor says”. I don’t know, maybe doing nothing is a better idea.

UPDATE: Oh, and this:

Langford made the written proposal in a set of nine sealed envelopes he hand-delivered to City Council members at his first official meeting with them.

Sealed envelopes! Oh, man, he’s making it very difficult to stay away.
