No. 708: Arts on a Lark and Official Malarkey

The party’s over, now it’s time to face the real music. I’m referring to the boozers at the N.C. Museum of Art who threw a party during museum operating hours for a departing colleague. Troubling by itself, the festivity, more importantly, poignantly epitomizes what’s wrong with state government today: The in-crowd parties while taxpayers struggle to foot the bill for ever-growing state spending.
