That trestle near downtown Athens is nice, and historic, but wow, if I understand the Athens article correctly, it cost the city government over $200K for environmental studies that were needed to decide to do nothing for now. Of course, the local government is pointing at the feds. But really, who decided to study the trestle?
If they stick “In God We Trust” on my license plate without my permission, I’m getting a collar for it reading “All Others Pay Cash.”
I bet we could come up with a host of similar collars and make a bundle. I’d certainly consider paying for a collar before paying for the county sticker if it would make a statement.
Or you could go with a variation of the old Arab proverb: Trust in God but tie up your camel.
I’m getting my own sticker to cover the “In God We Trust” with “E Pluribus Unum”.
