Can you believe this one,
But North Carolina appeared this weekend on another “Top 10″ list. And no, it wasn’t Letterman. No, according to the good folks at AlterNet, NC is among The 10 Craziest State Legislatures In America. Can you just feel your pride swelling?
This dubious distinction comes right on the heels of North Carolina being listed not once, not twice, but three times on the top 14 list of The Worst Bills of 2011 by the Progressive States Network. When I speak to colleagues in other states, the well-meaning, yet incredibly depressing, phrase that comes up most often is “Well, at least you’re in North Carolina.”
How nice we are being the laughing stock of the country, thanks to Tillis and Berger and a few select others in the NCGA.. How one might ask, well Tillis wild claims that his office payroll was lower then the last speaker of the house. I wonder was this before are after 27% raises that were handed out to his staff, while state employee haven’t been given a raise in 3 or more years. On the other side of the building we have Berger who is trying to create a district for his son..
Then again could it be the lost of teachers over a damn penny tax..
Then there this, lets cut the Capital Police budget so we can make State building less secure, while we take that money and add more security the to the NCGA to keep those citizens out that don’t like what we doing.We just can’t work with these citizens telling us how to do our jobs from the gallery or standing up to us on the house floor.
Tell you want I really love is hos these idiots use 9/11 for everything and the children.
Several disruptions by protesters this year in the House chamber highlighted security challenges, Brock said Friday. A legislative complex with largely unfettered access during normal business hours is not responsible for citizens and school groups that visit regularly, Brock said.
Yet these are same ignoramus, that cut the school budgets so much that I’m sure these types of school educational field trip will be history..
