The economy claims another victim

And it's Christmas lights in LaPorte, Indiana:

"The city will not hang Christmas lights downtown this year. Mayor Kathy Chroback said Thursday that delays in receiving tax money from the ongoing property tax reassessment in LaPorte County is the main reason. The city has had to borrow to get by, and with high fuel prices and other economic factors, there is no extra money to fix 20 to 30 in-ground electrical outlets needed to operate the lights."

Another sign that times are indeed tough.
We conservatives shouldn't let progressives be the only ones to notice it.
