We don't need no stinkin' jobs

We grimaced when we read this headline in the Jefferson Post this week: "Pitching Ashe County a Full-Time Job."
We couldn't agree more, especially when the county has chronic double-digit unemployment.
Funny thing is the Ashe County Board of Commissioners think it's only a part-time job. Pat Mitchell has been serving as both economic development chief and county manager for more than two years. In fact, if you go to the county Economic Development Office website these days, you'll get "Error 404: Page Not Found."
Pitching Ashe would be a fine full-time job for somebody. God knows there's plenty of work to be done.
