A Complex Prank
Someone used a signpost at the Brunswick County Government
complex to poke a little fun at Interim County Manager John
Harvey last week. The message apparently refers to a comment
Harvey made during an interview in which he said he was carrying
out the "subliminal" policy directives of the county commissioners
in drafting his controversial 1993-94 budget proposal.
