Comments on: NC Senate cuts child health coverage, says to Liddy Dole: “We love you!” http://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2008/06/16/nc-senate-to-liddy-dole-%e2%80%9cwe-love-you%e2%80%9d/ The Progressive Pulse is a blog about the issues, debates, and people that affect North Carolina public policy. As with the organization that sponsors it, NC Policy Watch, its ultimate objective is to improve the quality of life in the state, in this case by promoting the development of an informed, energetic and progressive online community. The Progressive Pulse welcomes the contributions of interested people of all points of view provided they are of a reasonable length, have some relevance to issues of North Carolina public policy and abide by the common rules of online etiquette (i.e., please avoid inappropriate language and show a measure of respect for others --even the John Locke Foundation). To post a comment, simply click the comment line then provide your name and email. Your email address will not be collected or shared. If you would like to be contributing writer, please send your post to info@ncpolicywatch.com with 'blog' in the subject line. If the post meets with our criteria (has a progressive perspective and is relative to our state), we will publish it.

From what I can tell Adam you aren't even asking for as much as the Senate is planning to give away to rich folks by relieving them of the great burden known as the NC Gift Tax. They found $18 million for that but they can't find $8.3 million to keep SCHIP enrollment open? Let 'em have it.

Sorry kid, no insurance for you-- we've got more important priorities.... or, hey, kid, you know we're just playing budget games... about something this important? No wonder people are cynical about government. Can you imagine explaining this ‘civics lesson’ to a child?
