Pat McCrory to the Unemployed, F-off I only have time for Special interest groups for now.

Raleigh, N.C. — State House and Senate Democrats are calling on Gov. Pat McCrory to save federal unemployment benefits scheduled to end July 1 for 71,000 people in North Carolina.

McCrory says that call won't be answered. 

Well Pat is living it up at his so-called serect fund raiser event in Greenboro, NC. Where donors will shell out between $5000.00 to $35,000.00. I bet anything folks from the payday lending group, internet sweepstakes group and other special interest will be there.

The event at the Grandover Resort is part of a retreat for the Renew North Carolina Foundation, a nonprofit that some of McCrory’s supporters formed after his election. Under federal rules, the 501(c)(4) group doesn’t have to reveal its donors, is not constrained by traditional political 
donation limits, and can spend money to promote “social welfare” causes, including political ones.

What is being said about this event,

The Grandover event concerns North Carolina good government groups, particularly since the timing lines up with the waning weeks of the current state legislative session.

Major bills — including the state budget and proposals to tinker with the state tax code — are headed soon to McCrory’s desk.

“It’s, again, another instance of big money politics,” said Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause North Carolina. “People with agendas, who have lots of money, will have access to the governor.”

Pat goal it to get people into jobs, not to continue unemployment, well this is great ideal, but the NC GOP has fail to produce any job bills what would do just that. Remember this is the same guy who gave his staff very large raises while many other state employees haven’t seen a raise in years.

Remember,

The benefits are 100 percent federally funded, and cutting them off will mean the loss of more than $500 million, most of it flowing into the state's worst-hit economic areas --said State Democrats.

once its done this will happen,

The overhaul takes effect next Monday. Under federal rules, states that change their unemployment benefits lose eligibility for federal extended benefits, paid to long-time jobless workers who have exhausted other assistance.

Rep Joe Sam Queen had this to say,

"We are not recovering, and what we're doing at this General Assembly is not creating jobs,"
