Bare Shelves

Naked women on wine labels are one thing---embarrassing to most folks who live here---but bare coffers in the state's largest county and it's "economic engine" is another. We all have been following the daily decline of the county governments in and around the Magic City, but now The New York Times story has a front page report on the massive layoffs and service cuts coming tomorrow in Jefferson County. And it includes quotes of legislators pointing fingers at Commissioners and visa verse (at least those commissioners not in jail).
Can we stop being our own worst enemy for a few minutes? Just a few?
[UPDATE: As of Saturday Afternoon, the NY Times story was the 7th most emailed on the paper's website.]
