Easley has more relatives in state gov than that guy who bossed Wayne Hurder (DMV) around, and at higher salaries though. Nepotism is alive, well and expensive for tax payers. AND HE DIDN'T KNOW!!!

Darn the locke guy beat me to it.

The governor questioned why the changes would produce criticism. (N&O)

"The governor questioned why the changes would produce criticism"?

Gee, that's a mystery. Maybe it's because of his prior questionable behavior with respect to his wife's laughable, six-figure sinecure?

well, at least we aren't Alaska where the state employee former in-law of a Governor got much different treatment (Mike Wooten)

HOW does a governor earning $120K per year procure and own multiple MILLION $$$ Properties?

Gov. Easely and Gov. Blagojevich have MUCH in common, and the investigation continues in NC!

Listen online to the best radio talk show in NC the TAKE a STAND show with Matt Mittan on WWNC 570am Asheville, the oldest radio station in WNC.
Weekdays 3-6 pm at www.takeastandshow.com listen this week as Matt focuses on the similarites between the 2 governors!

Is Easely NEXT?

The budget wording appears to give some more leeway to the governor to set the pay his appointees

Aside from lacking "of" there is an error in that statement...starting in January

Why is all of this money being wasted by the state, yet I've been begging and begging for the money that has been owed to me since June 30 and all I can get is told to quit asking for my money. Did Jack go on the beach retreat this weekend?? I wonder if he spent his own money on that...If she was on leave, she needs to pay the state back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps many state employees are working ( not on leave) and STILL NOT getting paid and our only trip is to the bank to borrow money because our paychecks are not correct

wow what a nice gig. Some of us can't even get a sick day without the threat of disciplinary action. The state will not even accept many staff's notes from M.D.. I have averaged using 2.47 days of sick time per year x 12 years and still worry about getting fired for that. Even though I work at hospital, where you would think they would want you to stay home if sick, they threaten you with write ups if you take sick leave. This lady gets a cool trip while on leave many of us could get neither.
