The case of the $352 million skylight
I was just reading the agenda for Tuesday night's City Council meeting, when an Item 35 caught my eye: $352,750,000 to replace a leaky skylight at the Mitchell Pumping Station.
Whaaa? Now, understand that I am but a simple country girl from Wilkes County. But something ain't right.
Ohhhhh. A quick look at the attachment (page 142 of this document) assured me it's a typo. It's just $352,750 - which still seems like a lot for a skylight.

Strange, the skylight is in-fact a great big dome over a pond-- is there a problem with rain leaking into a pond? I donno.

This really needs special attention but as usual it won't get it. BB
