"“Dysfunctional”, “horse crap” and “extortionist” — the war of words between Escambia County and the City of Pensacola over library funding escalated Thursday, with members of the Escambia County Commission firing the latest verbal salvos over not just the library but also public transit."
War over jurisdictional funding, how snippy you are. This reminds me of a story my great-granddad used to tell of when he and the library suggested that the county provide support for the bookmobile program. The Banned County claimed that those funds should come from what they already give the library. The Bannville Board of Aldermen claimed that they "did not need the damn thing in the city, so maybe the county should pay the damn gas people for their illiterate yokel ass patrons." My granddad was less pleased at these turns of phrases and made a deal with some of the moonshiners in the hollows to use the bookmobile to ferry booze into the speakeasies of the city in exchange for gas money. It worked and everything was fine after that.
