Burr to hold Durham summit

Sen. Richard Burr, who is seeking to raise his visibility across North Carolina, is planning to hold a state-wide economic development summit later this month in Durham.

Burr, a Winston-Salem Republican, is holding an event that will focus on partnerships between the education and business sectors on Oct. 19th, Rob Christensen reports.

Among those scheduled to attend are Scott Ralls, president of the N.C. Community College System and Erskine Bowles, the president of the University of North Carolina system.

Burr and Bowles have developed a friendship since Burr defeated Bowles in the 2004 Senate race.

The event will be held at 9:30 a.m. at N.C. Central University's H.M. Michaux Jr. School of Education.

Just maybe do you think Burr might be trying to combat the over 10% unemployment rate our state currently enjoys.

Vote for his opponent?

Once again DOME your bias is showing. You state that Burr is trying to raise his visibility in the state by holding a statewide summit on economic development. REALLY, DOME, REALLY. Just maybe do you think Burr might be trying to combat the over 10% unemployment rate our state currently enjoys. Also if you did a little research (I know that is too much to ask) you would see that Burr has been doing these type of events all over the state since he was elected.

I did notice that in your post about Perdue shifting her staff around you didn’t mention anything about it being linked to her poll #’s being in the 20’s. How come? That must be the reason she did it.

Oh, Gigglebox, I called Burr's office and it is free and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
