I emailed WRAL to see if they could bring the EB benefits story back to life.

As of May 1, 2011, 22 states have opted to use a 3-year look back for an EB trigger. In many of the states it was a struggle, but they got there. We will, too.

Only Republican reply I have gotten so far and it didn't answer the question of if he supports it. It's as if Tillis and P.Berger told them do NOT answer anything about H676 or S584 until we say so. I didn't ask anything about the budget and that's what I get back.

Thank you for bringing your concerns about HB 676 to Rep. McCormick's attention. He appreciates your views on the needs of our community. We are actively looking for ways to create jobs and to limit the layers and layers of regulation that inhibit good job growth. We know that higher taxes do not make our economy grow. We hope you know that he is here to help. We have a strong and competent group of leaders diligently working on the budget. We are confident that we will get North Carolina on budget and on track to strengthen the economy and build opportunities for businesses and thereby families to flourish and prosper. It is both an honor and privilege to serve you in the House of Representatives. Please continue to contact our office with your thoughts and concerns on issues.

Why not just answer the question, oh, that's right they are politicians.

Why in the hell has the Gov. not made any statements about any of this? Other than what was in her veto statement. I get so damn sick of the automated responses from the Gov. office, or the LA's responding not knowing what they are talking about.

In the latest worrying sign for the economy, the number of Americans filing first-time claims for jobless benefits spiked last week--the second straight week it has done so.
Initial claims for unemployment benefits rose to 474,000, an increase of 43,000 from the previous week, the Labor Department said. In the last two weeks, the number has risen by a total of 78,000.
The four-week moving average, which smooths out volatility in the data, rose to 431,250.
Last week, the government reported that the economy grew by just 1.8 percent in the first three months of this year. And yesterday, we learned that private-sector firms added a disappointing 179,000 jobs in April.
The government's monthly jobs report, which includes both private- and public-sector employment, is due out tomorrow.
