Paul: Accuracy is our highest goal. I agree the wording of the sentence leaves something to be desired. Your second point isn't really something to be corrected.

The current proposal gives ALL voters in the city a vote, not just the people being forced to be annexed, FIRST correction.

Second correction is the hoops and hurdles you have to jump around are so extensive it makes the possibility of a vote VERY unlikely.

bniolet, on your quick hits you may want to be a little more accurate.

Everybody enjoys making money and not having the government take it away. Apple's just like everyone of us... only different.

O ye of little faith!

You have got to give until it hurts. And then some more. Some estimates put the incentives for the "Global Transpark's" deal with Spirit Aero in the range of $240,000,000. That's chump change to a state like us. Look at all the money we have in the Golden Leaf fund?

These financial incentives are just like buying your future wife a diamond. Have you ever heard of a gal marrying a poor man? It doesn't happen. Either you give her a big ring or she is gone. Think of these businesses as future brides. You are taking them for better or worse and in the sickness of our economy. And don't think about a pre-nup.

Never forget that if we give it all away somebody will be there to bail us out! There is always someone willing to bail you out. Always. Live for today and let the bailout take care of tomorrow.

The NCAE needs to gain some common sense. If you endorse and work to elect the same people that are screwing you over, you deserve what you get.

Rewriting tax law for just one future taxpayer is just the kind of glaring unfairness and obvious bad policy that would be a lock to pass the NC General Assembly. It's not like we could expect them to admit that if a low tax rate would be good for one business, then low tax rates would be good for everyone.

It's not doing what's good for the state that they want, it's being able to say that they, the legislators, have produced good economic benefits and not the wealth creators and untold number of productive citizens across the state.

Sotomayor is an ADMITTED MEMBER of the EVIL NASTY Pro ILLEGAL group,
LaRAZA...for that alone she should be run out of America, let alone be a judge! LaRaza should be OUTLAWED and shut down immediately!

Ryan - I think you are forgetting that the Democrats have already lost their "first round pick" in Cooper and Shuler has declared for the draft, but declined to hire an agent...

My bet is McIntyre!
