A routine quarterly budget meeting at the Municipal Administrative Building descended into interdimensional incident yesterday morning, after council members refused to sign Form 7-B, a required document for the continuation of temporal flow.

The form, which has been in continuous use since the Second Epoch, was deprecated without notice last Tuesday. The new form, Form 7-C, requires signatures from 'all parties who will exist at the time of the signing,' a condition that has never been met in recorded history.

Experts from the Bureau of Ontological Maintenance arrived on scene at approximately 10:45 AM, declaring the situation 'contained but philosophically unstable.'

'We've seen this before,' said Dr. Elta Missen of the Competitive Forgetting department. 'Usually around budget season. The paperwork just gets ahead of itself.'

The meeting has been adjourned indefinitely. A correction from last month's edition appears below.
