Word of the Day: Fungible

   I saw a short piece on the merger of the Minneapolis Public Library
   with the Hennepin County Library on our local Channel 12 news. They
   reported that some libraries will be expanding their hours, the
   funding for which comes from - the Twins Ballpark sales tax!
   After getting smoked acquiring the land for the new Twins stadium, the
   County can hardly have any money left over. Regardless, how is it that
   this money isn't locked into a dedicated fund? Even if legal, how is
   this honest government?
