What is this bullcrap about raising my taxes, in one of the already higher taxed states, to help "Save Education?" I am all for doing my part to help our educational system, but I want to know where the hell all that money from the Education Lottery money is going. If you have to use the funds from the lottery for other things, then do so, but don't sit there and call it an "education" lottery and then raise my taxes for education.

Needing to "save education" is just their way of saying they're going to try to bilk us for more money.

Raise taxes... think of the children.

Saying its for education is just so no one will really question why taxes are being raised. Say you are doing something in the name of education or to catch pedophiles, and you get an all-access, no questions asked pass on everything.

While I support the teachers, since half my extended family are teachers and I strongly considered becoming one myself, Perdue is using a common political tactic to raise taxes.

If you need/want more money, you threaten to cut the most vital or popular programs you have, even if there are others you could cut, so that people will be more willing to cough up the money. If Perdue said we need to raise taxes or we won't be able to do any more road construction this year, nobody would be willing to pay a cent.

This tactic has a name, but I can't think of it right now.

If the representatives know people will be outraged by an increase in taxes, they won't vote for them.

It is the reason she's saying "we have to raise taxes to save education" and not "we are raising taxes and there's nothing you fags can do about it"

Not unless she's not the Democrat on the ticket. NC can't seem to vote for a governor that doesn't have a (D) next to their name - even after Easley.

^so true

and I was actually pretty impressed with McCrory. Perdue looked incompetent for most of the campaign (if you ask me) and she has continued to govern that way. She better thank Obama for his extremely long coattails last november.

i've heard that the money from the education lottery can only go towards building new schools, not towards maintaining current ones. I'm not sure about salaries though. It'd sure be nice to throw some money towards expanding schools and getting rid of all those piece-o-trash trailer homes off school grounds.

Nah, I'm pretty sure Perdue won't make it past one term, Democrat or not.




She has single handedly managed to alienate or piss off each and every constituency in the state.




According to the N&O from Friday, she's already sitting on a 30% approval rating, only 5 months into her term. That is absolutely fatal.

Perdue comes from the same corrupt machine as Easley, Hunt, Black, etc... and she has shown herself to be a complete failure, along with the legislature. Anyone who did not expect this must have had their head in the sand.

Yes, I would like to know an itemized allocation of where all that money from our State lottery is going??? Someone is missing the boat as far as making sure that $$ gets allocated appropriately!

ugh. raise my taxes to save education AFTER you've already cut my salary by 0.5% (taken in 3 paychecks) and cut funding at the university. then you'll continue to remove the 0.5% from my SMALL STATE SALARY indefinitely. you also have gotten approval to cut more, and to force 20 days leave without pay on all state employees for the next fiscal year.
meanwhile, i am stuck at my introductory salary level, which was INTENDED to be temporary. and since there's no way in hell i can get a raise or a promotion after my stellar annual review, i'm easily getting 5-8K less than i should for another year.
