Gov. Easly should have at least given us 4% increase considering the gas and food prices going thru the roof plus increase in our health plan for next year. Shame on you Easly. He gave us a one week paid vacation, you know what ALL state employees should do?? We should all call in sick the same week and let him see if our jobs are as important as these teachers. </p> <p>Disappointed. </p> Tue, 13 May 2008 11:20:07 -0400 gladiator comment 6643 at http://projects.newsobserver.com http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/documents/2008_budget <div style="padding:7px;background:#efefef;margin-bottom:5px;"><div style="font-size:1.2em;border-bottom:2px solid #efefef;margin-bottom:4px;"><a href="http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/documents/2008_budget">2008 Budget</a></div> <div class="document-teaser-description">Gov. <a href="/dome/profiles/mike_easley">Mike Easley&#39;s</a> proposed budget for the 2008-09 year.<br /> <img src="http://www.newsobserver.com/images/front_new/icon_link7.gif" width="11" height="7"> <a href="http://projects.newsobserver.com/sites/projects.newsobserver.com/files/2008-budget.pdf">Download document</a></div> </div> http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/documents/2008_budget#comment alcohol beer and wine budget cigarettes Mike Easley sin taxes Under the Dome Mon, 12 May 2008 15:34:57 -0400 ryanteaguebeckwith 7064 at http://projects.newsobserver.com
