Why they chose the Midnight vote

#ncpol #ncga

one reason could be that June 15th was Teachers lobby day at NCGA, now the Representatives don’t have to worry about meeting all these teachers face to face. “if we see no pink slip then they don’t exist” that is why we must vote at Midnight..

Personally I would love to see the start of the new school with a mass teacher strike.. (statewide)

With poll numbers like this, no wonder they passed the budget in the middle of the night.  http://fb.me/HYQnV7Ym

Less than 25% of respondents approve of the budget state-wide.

Statewide, only 36% of voters think that it’s most important to end the temporary one cent sales tax compared to 50% who think it’s more vital to minimize cuts to education spending.

In Speaker Tillis’ district, the favorable/unfavorable was 24/41, and in Speaker Berger’s district, it was 27/44.  Results around education were similar: in Berger’s district, 53% of voters think it’s more important to protect education vs. 36% who think it’s more important to roll back the sales tax, and in Tillis’ district where 51% side with education to 41% for reducing the sales tax.

So, in 2012 who make republicans will be voted out of NCGA, also what will happen to the Five Dems who vote with the Republicans???
