Knoxville Citizens do Not pay Federal Taxes

Well, according the the Knoxville News Sentinel

On Sunday, March 30, 2014, the Knoxville News Sentinel contained an article entitled "Mayoral travel provides influential opportunities".  This line was in that article "A trip to Turkey cost nothing for local taxpayers, nor a recent trip to California because it was paid for by the federal government, but Rogero has traveled elsewhere at local public cost."  

Clearly, there was never an editor any where near this article. It is kind of run-on and could use at least one other comma.  

Do the very fine citizens of Knoxville have a waiver from paying Federal Taxes?  Is this an error by the writer of the article?  Did this come from Madam Mayor's office?

I am pretty darn sure that Knoxvillians pay Federal Taxes.  In that case, local money was used.  

FYI, to the Sentinel, the writer and Madam Mayor's office.  The Federal Government has no money.  All the money in Washington, D.C. comes from the denizens of every city, town, hamlet and burg in the United States of America.  Or, is borrowed in the name of the people by the federal government.

When the Mayor travels, she travels on Knoxville's nickel whether she knows it or not.  Since, I am in a snarky mood, I am going to say Miss Rogero doesn't know, not part of the education of an organizer for Cesar Chavez.

Why is Ina Hughs so hateful

Ina Hughs is another of my fav reads from the Sentinel because she is so consistent.  She is consistently hateful and mean.  Her "Oped" "April day celebrates our sense of humor" displays her love of cruel jokes.  May be it is because I prefer humor that is self-deprecating or everyman type.  I just don't think that calling a beloved grandchild on the phone, pretending to be from the DMV and telling him that he really failed his Drivers License Test is kind or funny.

Color me hiding in fear of Ina Hughs humor.
