And here on the Dome some have been talking junk about those "evil" drug companies. And now some are trying to get them to come to NC.

How do you tell an "evil" medicine from one that is "non-evil?"

Good for you SEANC. I would add my vote to making both Representatives Holliman and Gibson "priors"......
Neither has any intention of any kind of serious
reform to the state annexation law.
They don't care about the little old ladies that will lose their homes. They don't care about the children and families that do not have insurance now because times are so bad.
They don't care about the children wanting to go to college and
their parents not being able to afford it.
They don't care that the Chappell's family farm near Rocky Mount will have to be sold because they cannot pay for the main water and sewer lines that this annexation will allow the city to run around their property at a cost to the Chappells of $217,000.00. This the Chappells will be forced to pay, even though they don't need water and sewer.
They don't care that Mr. Chappell is fighting cancer also.
They only care about staying in good standing with The League and being informed by The League. before the session is even over, that they can continue with the annexations in their districts.
They only care about allowing cities like Charlotte to have bragging rights about being among the fastest growing cities in the nation.
Charlotte's own Chamber of Commerce said that Charlotte didn't really grow, they just annexed.

It is Hypocrisy!

Democrats across this nation and state are AGAINST you investing up to 2% of your Social Security. But then they are for this? Oh come on Democrats, stop saying it is ok for you but not the rest of us. Your arrogance is showing!

Janet Cowell knows what she is doing and will serve this state well.

And for god's sake, there's no incentive for anyone in the Treasurer's Office to screw over anyone's interests, so the partisan-based charges are ridiculous. Richard Moore, DEMOCRAT, took great care of that office, which is why our pension fund is one of the healthiest in the country.

Whining, carping, bleating twits can whine, carp and bleat, but everyone who knows Cowell knows she's super sharp and is doing a great job.

We are going to be over $4 BILLION in debt because of the decisions made the Democrats in this state. After all they are completely in charge and bear ALL responsibility for the current crisis.

This move is extremely dangerous.

"We hire professionals to do a job over there," Gibson said.

The professionals in Raleigh have had a lot to do with all the current problems......giving them more power to do even riskier things seems a contraindication at this point.

RTB I have been hearing this for a long time, at least since around 1995 or so. Where does Gibson reside? Where do his children go to school? Exactly where does his wife work? Just because someone maintains an address somewhere does not make them a resident. Why can't these questions be answered once and for all? If it is true that he lives in Raleigh, wife works in Raleigh, kids schooled in Raleigh then he is not living in Anson and why is he being protected? Who was the other guy that maintained a residence for district purposes but didn't actually live in that mobile home but lived in the really nice house somewhere else. Mitchell or something? Why is it different for Gibson? Maybe the N & O since they are really in the investigative journalism mode right now will sove this issue.

Sounds like Gibson already has experience screwing over state employees....

WWNC 570am in Asheville is running the Goforth ads every hour...great to hear this in WNC ! ! Wondering which stations the Gibson ad is on?

Pryor Gibson is gaining pace everyday on the MOST corrupt list...which state dept does his wife work in? Where do his children attend school, Raleigh or Anson Co? In the past, he has refused to answer these basic questions.

I hope the state employees take this into consideration before voting next year.

"State Employees want this"? I don't know of any state employee that wants this. And I don't know of any state employee who makes enough money they could voluntarily take a pay cut for 30 days any year. Sounds like Pryor has lost his mind. All legislators, the Governor and all Cabinet members need to be the first to volunteer to take 30 day furloughs without pay.

Someone has obviously lost their minds!
