The Lenoir area? The Dell plant is located in Forsyth County just outside of Winston-Salem.

Hey Walter Dalton...about the Dell jobs for NC people?...um, the measily 200 new jobs would have to be filled from outside the region it was in which means mostly from out of state...because of the LACK of skilled workers in Lenoir area.

Does Dalton have a CLUE about how South Carolina handled their Dell 'incentive' plan???

HOW can ANYONE with a brain EVER vote for another democrackkk in NC???

Re: Stam excused from budget vote

Any legislator who cannot vote for the budget should resign.

What will the standard become and what will be the excuse used next time?

I believe that this was an act of cowardice - and Representative Stam was afraid to vote no.

RTB and others:

Everyone has some sort of conflict of interest regarding the budget as it is extremely comprehensive. Voting on the budget is a legislator's number one job and a leader should know this. Rep. Stam is a veteran and I respect and admire him. He has done great things for North Carolina, but I have to question his thought process on this one.

He received an excuse? Then it came from Hackney. Was Stam encouraged by Hackney (or Hackney's minions) not to vote? Is Rep. Stam being tainted by leadership and his proximity to the Democrats? Gosh, I hope not.
