Opening Arguments

They'll get us in the end

Come up with your own crappy pun for this:

Mayor Jim Suttle went to Washington Tuesday flush with ideas for how federal officials could help cities like Omaha pay for multibillion-dollar sewer projects.

Among the items on his brainstorming list: a proposal for a 10-cent federal tax on every roll of toilet paper you buy.

Based on the four-pack price for Charmin double rolls Tuesday at a midtown Hy-Vee, such a tax would add more than 10 percent to the per-roll price, pushing it over a buck.

All that's left is the air we breathe and they truly will have taxed everything.

Do you think Mayor Suttle's proposal will be wiped off the legislative agenda?
