I'm posting from a phone right now. If you'll be kind enough to google the Shelby Star then search the archives for casino you'll find a list of politicians who take money from the Cherokee Nation to block other tribes from setting up casinos in NC to compete with the Cherokee casinos. McCrory is on the list, as is Berger.

In my view, if he's taking a payoff from one group, there is no reason to think that he has any morals.

Gotta keep those profit margins when you're selling off-brand Chinese goods in your stores. It's the American Way

Absolutely! Keep shoving trickle down economics down our throats. It's been failing to help anyone but the wealthy for decades.

And no State-level civil suit recourse. This news is no surprise to me. I assumed Pope's henchmen provided what little gray matter this move required.
