Re: House shuts down, too

The old saying is that the longer the legislature is in session at Raleigh, the more the citizens should fear for their jobs, purses and general well being. The longer they stay, the more mischief is done and the more money they extract from our pockets. The fact that less than a dozen representatives determine EVERYTHING that gets done, should be a sign that we need to throw out the lot of them. This also includes the pirate in the Governor's house. Too much is determined at a restaurant near the beach.

Good Riddance.

Thanks for nothing except stealing more of my money.

Shutting down the House and saying "Goodbye" to the Senate? Get out of my head!

Another year of exploiting tax payers and accomplishing nothing. Where's the party?

your term is just begining Governor. State employees will want a PAY RAISE next year. Get ready for some HUGE rallies of state workers demanding "change we can believe in"

Yep, she's happy now. A budget cut with a spending increase over this year?? I am as happy as her that it is nearly over, but I am talking about the terms these jokers are in at present. I can't wait for the lies to start when this thing is signed. This will be ugly when the real numbers come out.

Only one NC Senator voted to bail out the banks first, then against everything else. It was ATM-run Richard 'I park where I wants' Burr.

Bail Out The People, Not the Banks

if the feds can bail out the Wall Street banks, then why not the 50 state governments?

WHO will be the NEXT CORRUPT Democrackkk to FALL into the flames of CORRUPTION??? How soon will it be? Any bets?

The Boseman accusations are bogus and vindictive smears stemming from a domestic matter. She hasn't been implicated in any wrongdoing in office, is relatively new to Jones Street, and is certainly not what anyone who knows the GA has in mind when they talk about entrenched power and the corruption that attends it.

I have no problem criticizing the Democrats, but I'm not joining anyone's freakin' witch hunt -- no matter what political party is the target or doing the targeting.

Hasn't the board of elections been asked to look into some accusations aimed at Senator Julia Boseman of Wilmington?

Re: Sinsheimer: Indictments will continue

As a die-hard Democrat, I hate to say it, but he's absolutely right.

What a STUNNING SLAP in the faces of NC citizens when Perdue AND Moore showed the height of ARROGANCE by refusing to participate in the statewide broadcasted goobernatorial debate last night!

Hopefully NC citizens can see that either one of these clowns will guarantee 'MORE CORRUPTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION' in NC!!!

We're researching all of the gubernatorial candidates and posting short items as we finish them. Another ongoing series focuses on Bob Orr's Supreme Court decisions.
