Its better then taxes

There appears to be a budget shortall over in Chauncey, Ohio… seems voters turned down a tax levy last year that would have been used to pay for the electric bill for street lights… since then, the town has developed a….unique solution to raising the money to pay the bill…

They drop an old fashioned outhouse on your front lawn..and you must make a “donation” (of the monetary kind..not the kind of donation you’d normally make in an outhouse) to have it removed.. after making your donation, you get to pick who gets the outhouse next..and, apparently, its working, from the article:

In its first two days, the outhouse collected $200

So..in two days, they made about half of what they need in a month to pay the power bill… at this rate, they could be running a budget surplus in no time!
