Things are getting more screwed up at the NCGA.

It would seem that the NCGA Republicans don’t want any Democrats or anyone in there own party to read the bills as they come up for votes.

It would seem that Rep Julia Howard, who represents Davie and Forsyth (79 district) had a issue and rejected a suggestion from Rep Paul Luebke that lawmakers should have more time to read a 70 page bill concerning the changes to the state’s unemployment insurance which was filed earlier in the day..

Critic of this bill notes that over 80,000 Carolina workers would become ineligible for federal benefits, which would result in the state losing over $25 million in federal money that is currently being injected into the state’s economy..

I bet this old depends wearing, geritol swigging, peroxide white nelly hag couldn’t live off of $350.00/week..

This makes her the Douchebagoftheday..

Phil Berger and Thom Tillis fight over Hostages

Via BlueNC,

In the wake of Phil Berger's attempt to use those 45,000 unemployed hostages to promote his own Senate Budget, House Speaker Tillis appears to be on the verge of introducing a new bill, also tied to a Continuing Resolution, that includes a provision allowing those unemployed to receive the Federal funds that never should have been held back in the first place.

What a pair of dingbats.. Both of these crackpots holding 45,000 unemployed folk hostage to make sure Governor Bev Perdue sign their education cutting budget.

What a Douche Bag

The  42,000 to 45,000 North Carolinians cut off from  their extended unemployment benefits since April 16 will have to wait longer, if GOP Senate Leader Phil Berger’s move to fix the stalemate is hinged to the state budget process.

Berger, in a press conference this morning, said the restoring the benefits (which are funded solely through federal sources) would have to wait and become part of the new state budget, which is supposed to take effect on July 1 if it manages to pass it time.

“Whenever it is approved, it will be retroactive,” he said.

Yes this Douche Bag and others are holding federal $$$ for unemployment as their ace in the hold to force the Governor to do what they want. I guess since they are not about to lose their homes and livelihood why would these douche bag care.

To help with the budget crisis, all members of the NCGA should take a 30% pay cut, their should miss it,with all the under the table money they get from Lobbyist to pass bills they want..
this is so rich,

Today, Berger again tried to shift blame to Perdue, a Democrat, when he responded to questions from reporters about why GOP legislators had worked out a recent compromise on the State Health Plan, and not done the same with  restoring the unemployment benefits.

Bev Perdue claims she will sign a clean bill if she is given one, but no matter how many the House and Senate Democrats tried to move forward they are block by those closet bigots and racists in both houses call Republicans….
