Original or Extra Crispy?


These are early days in Morrisville's budget process, but this we already know - money's tight in the Heart of the Triangle. Really tight. Freeze salaries tight. Cut out all capital spending tight. Keep police cars in service 25,000 miles longer than recommended tight. Dip into the town's savings tight. Look under the sofa cushions for change tight.

Here's another possibility - $3,000 per pothole in exchange for temporary KFC advertising. Won't make up for years of overspending, but it sure beats some of the alternatives for balancing the 2010 budget. And worth a closer look.
