Henderson County officials spar with towns over how much the county will bill for fire inspection and other services. Mayors urge a quick decision as budgets tighten, citing sales tax shifts totaling 24 million since 2004 to Flat Rock, Mills River and Fletcher. County leaders defend ongoing budget work with a May 20 target and warn of broader funding changes.

It closes with the notion that men defer to their partners’ attire and still manage to look presentable for the bar run.
