Funny how the "black widow" failed to mention the former wife of over fifty some years in died in 2000. After all, she's the Mother of his daughter and grand and greatgrandchildren. Funny how greed affects people. Shame on you Myrtle!

That $137,000 per year until 2047 comes to $5,473,000...and when you divide that by the 370 users, it comes out to be about $14,792 per household. Some brilliant thinking out of Dobson there. What would be helpful is to see some additional reporting from the Mount Airy News on 1) what the original thinking of the county commissioners was at the time they committed to this project, 2) who the champions of it were, and 3) maybe soliciting a comment or two from those champions. That would make for a good article, and it would help to further hold government accountable to the people, which is (or should be) one of the objectives of the press. I think $5.5 million in wasted county taxpayer dollars warrants a bit more detail. How about it, editors? Maybe a follow-up story on this one?
