Subject: $24,000 for “Pittsboro Express” busline that few will use
The Pittsboro Town Commissioners will be discussing the budget on Monday night at 6:30pm. It may be a good idea to contact the commissioners before the meeting and ask them why they plan to waste $24,000 on the “Pittsboro Express” busline in today’s economy. The busline is supposed to run from Pittsboro to Chapel Hill and expected to serve less than 100 people.
This is only a part of the entie $360,000 needed to run this service

Snowcamper on the bulletin board even wrote a little poem about this

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor Chathaneer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was standin’ by the road
And there come a bus with Randy at its head!
Lucre that is, free money, Politician Tea.
Well the first thing you know ol’ Jed’s a ridin’ free,
Kinfolk said Jed move away from Bonlee
Said Chapel Hill is the place you ought to be
So they loaded up the bus and moved costlesslee.
Hills, that is.
Swimmin pools, protesters.
The Chapel Hillbillies!
Let the Pittsboro Commisisoners know that this is a BAD idea.
