Double-Speaker’s apprentice

Post on July 7, 2011 by 3 Comments »

It appears that Rep. Bryan Holloway of Stokes County has been drinking from the same truth-altering Kool Aid as House Speaker Thom Tillis (see the post below).

In this morning’s N&O piece on the demise of the Governor’s School, the following passage appeared:

“‘It was not a matter of wanting to cut the Governor’s School,’ said Holloway, a Republican from King. ‘It was a matter of us wanting to keep teaching and teaching assistant positions.’”

No it wasn’t, Representative. It was a matter of you wanting to give tax cuts to wealthy people and multi-state corporations and reducing the state sales tax even though the overwhelming majority of North Carolinians thought it was dumb idea.

    What a shame. Governor’s school was the best program the state offered for gifted students.

    Stop belly-aching about less taxpayer money being taken away and spent wherever you want it to be spent, and do something to get private funding to save Governor’s School. If it’s worth saving, then get people to agree with you and give their money to save it, voluntarily. We’re hitting a depression, and the gubmint money ain’t gonna be there any more. Get busy, save GS another way. Moaning about the good ol’ days of big gubmint spending isn’t helping. Get to work.

    If you are saving teaching position and using the excuse of cutting GS to assist in doing that then tell me WHY as a teacher I was LAID OFF!!! Please quit going around the subject. I am not a GS Alum but I am a huge supporter. If it means keeping GS then fine I will take my lay off but at least be honest and quite being a politician and be a man
