Hackney's told-you-so moment


At the start of session Tuesday, House Speaker Joe Hackney recognized a number of visitors in the chamber including North Carolina's newest millionaire Jeff Wilson, who claimed his Powerball jackpot today.

"All you who voted against the lottery hold your applause," Hackney said.

Re: Hackney's told-you-so moment

Isaac is ANOTHER clueless democrackkk too! How DID NC democrackkks EVER get to BE so CORRUPT? (100+ years of total democrackkk domination) Get rid of these bastards, OUTLAW democrats everywhere! Make THEM ILLEGAL!

Re: Hackney's told-you-so moment

"people writing on this blogg not fit to wipe his feet"????? Is this a joke???come on he didn't get where he is in corrupt democrat politics by being a boy scout. Wise up. ( no offense to the boy scouts )

Re: Hackney's told-you-so moment

Not one of you morons purporting to address the least issue involving Joe Hackney is fit to wipe his feet.

This man is not only the best and brightest that the Democrats in NC have to offer in decades, but is also the living, breathing, functioning example for anyone else who cares that one may be intelligent and honest and principled and serve his people.

I will always be proud to back Joe Hackney. There is no one in the state who can match his record for scrupulous attention and ethical practice.

Re: Hackney's told-you-so moment

As a State House candidate for House 33 I find Hackney's comment both insulting and stupid. So Hackney proudly admits to voting for the lottery on a CORRUPT vote?

Re: Hackney's moment...When are the losers attending a session?

Perhaps they could comment on being constrained to be suckers in a game with horrible odds

Re: Hackney's told-you-so moment

thats such a typically tacky comment from another attitudinal democrackkk legislator...

NEW LEGISLATION NEEDED: Pass a law that would require all builders to certify that NO ILLEGAL labor was employed to build it!

Re: Hackney's told-you-so moment

He might want to reconsider that statement in light of what we were all promised the lottery would accomplish.
