Today, District of Columbia Council Member Mary Cheh circulated a memo to other members of the council with budget recommendations for the next fiscal year.
Recommendation #2 called for the council to "create a special, non-lapsing fund to be known as the 'Peeps Ceremonial Fund.' The Fund shall be used to support grants for District residents to create and submit entries to the annual Washington Post Peeps Contest and such further efforts to support Peeps as the Mayor, in his sole discretion, deems appropriate."
Sounds like a terrific idea, yes? DCist labeled it an "outlandish joke." Too bad!
