If you’ve bought the line there’s a budget crisis in state government – here’s proof you may have been sold a bill of goods.
The State Department of Agriculture ordered 9,000 camel-colored t-shirts to give away at the state fair – for $18,000.
You might ask – why did the state need to give away t-shirts in the middle of a budget crisis? It gets better.
The t-shirts came and they were white, not camel-colored. The Department called the t-shirt vender in New York said they’d ordered camel-colored shirts and didn’t want the white ones. The New York vender said, You’re right, I screwed up. Look, these t-shirts are no good to me now. You can have them free and we’ll call it even.
The Department of Agriculture said, No way, we want camel.
End of story: The Department orders 9,000 camel colored t-shirts from another vender for $31,000, then tells the New York vender he owes the state $13,000 for the difference.
Meanwhile they’re 9,000 white t-shirts sitting somewhere in a warehouse in Raleigh.
Bottom Line: The State could have had 9,000 t-shirts for free – but, instead, spent $31,000 because someone at the Department of Agriculture like camel.
How’s that for how government works?
