Theatre of the absurd

The Orange County Cemetery District is trying to decide on the best way to implement orders to "clean" 200 ACW headstones.

The stones, in disrepair, were rehabilitated by Air Force veteran Gene Platt on his own time over a period of three years. He cleaned the stones and painted name inscriptions gold.
The clean up could cost between $5,000 and $14,000, district general manager Tim Deutsch wrote in a memo to the board.
