Many journalists have read the book and seen the movie All The President s Men. The tale of the reporting behind the Watergate break-in has long been an inspiration for many to enter the profession, and it contains one of the most classic lines: Follow the money.
That means, of course, that money is the driving force in our world in good and bad and simply mundane ways.
And money was at the root of many of this week s biggest stories. To start, Charlotte s City Manager Marcus Jones revealed his budget for the upcoming year. In a presentation to City Council and reporters, he focused on how the budget did not include a tax hike, but contained higher starting salaries and raises for most employees.
