"Let them eat cake"


Muskegon County prepares for 150th birthday

"The county wants to throw itself a birthday party.

July 18 will mark Muskegon County's 150th anniversary as a governmental unit, and thanks to $10,000 from the county's board of commissioners, a celebration is in the works......

And two massive cakes, one of which is expected to be large enough to feed 5,000 people, will take center stage at Taste of Muskegon, a culinary festival that has drawn thousands of food lovers downtown."

Interesting that the county's board of commissioners would be kind enough to pony up $10,000 from their own pockets for us cake eaters!

Oh..... it isn't the commissioners who are paying?

It's US PEOPLE???

Our broke county has EXTRA tax moolah for cake?

This ain't right.

Folks, remember how the "Let them eat cake" deal worked out for Marie Antoinette.
