NorCo Council Footing Bill For Centenarian Lunch?

Earlier this week, I told you that NorCo's annual lunch for centenarians has been rescheduled for November 10. That lunch had been scheduled to take place at Green Pond Country Club, but Executive Lamont McClure postponed it as a result of the state budget impasse. There's still no resolution on that front, so who's footing the bill. 

A few weeks ago, Council President Lori Vargo Heffner suggested that Council's contingency funds could be used. Next week, County Council will consider and vote on a resolution to pay the tab.

  1. McClure's decision to cancel it was a bonehead move. Now we'll see if the Rs on council are boneheads also.

  2. So many struggling property owners and we are buying a dinner complete with desert? Let them stay home and let someone living in the woods or on a river bank have that lunch. What a waste of taxpayers money

  3. More than likely, 1:04 pm, those you deride contributed much to the community, continue to pay taxes to support said community, and helped others in need, as well. Get off your high horse, hope you live a long life, and don’t begrudge others a little celebration.

  4. Don't worry, DemocracyFirst will foot the bill!

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
