The “Out-of-control Tour” comes to Wilmington Wednesday evening

What is it about this legislature that is “out of control”? It looks to me that they are on the right track to question all spending regardless of its status as a sacred cow. In addition the plan to require the use of photo IDs for voting seems very sensible. It’s too bad Gov. Perdue vetoed that law but I’m hopeful they will find the votes to overturn her veto.

Alex,
You are clearly intent on continuing the tax and spend policies which have failed us. How much taxes are enough? Spending is out of control and this legislature is fixing that.

The NC GOTP lead GA has done absolutely nothing in regards to the economic situation in our state. Instead what they have focused on is attacking public education, women’s health issues, same sex marriage, the EPA, and any program directed at those hardest hit by the Bush recession. They’ve also made it next to impossible for the state to collect taxes from corporations who operate in multiple states and overseas, while cutting the throats of small businesses that operate only in NC. Fortunately scientists at NC State University have crossed a pickle with a deer, they’re calling the new hybrid the dill-doe, it will be available in May to all GOP members of the GA, word is it’s creating a lot of excitement among conservatives.

Look at the problem the GOP has with shortfalls right now. They’ve backed themselves into a corner with ideologically driven legislation and complete disregard for good governance. The GA cut their owns throats by eliminating the temporary sales tax. They have spent all their time pandering to the theocrats in their party by addressing discriminatory social issues and done absolutely nothing to turn NC’s economic situation around. Why? They know their time in control will be short due to the circular firing squad they’ve assembled. How have they tried to address any of the real issues in this state, high un-employment, loss of manufacturing, and improving the public school systems? The GOP plan is , they have no plan. They simply want to cut taxes and starve the state government, this is the most ignorant and short-sighted assemblage of human beings that I’ve seen in my 51 years. Instead of trying to expand the tax base by decreasing unemployment and making corporations actually pay taxes, they’ve done just the opposite, and the citizens of this state will be paying for their actions for years to come.
