There was a testy aside on Monday when the Covington City Council was set to take action on the city budget as Councilman Chris Smith vented his frustration over the unused Norfolk Southern railroad property. Smith asked the council not to talk about, let alone pursue, purchase of the corridor for the rest of the year, a motion that carried 4-1. Smith said he brought it up during the budget because he wanted to make sure no city money was spent on the corridor.
Priorities, please
