LOA50, What other rumblings are you hearing out there? You seem to have the most "insider" info. Any info is greatly appreciated.
Veto.......She will not sign this one either. Still have 35 days until the budget runs out. I think we need to get within 10 day to see something happen
**also look up your local house and senate representatives here:
north carolina general assembly - ncga - representation (http://www.ncleg.net/gis/representation/representation.html - broken link)

I cannot believe Perdue is squabbling over a $.5 million dollar difference. Yes, 20,000 may lose their jobs in education, but what about the 50,000 and growing that have already lost jobs for the last 2+ years? This economy stinks for everyone. I do not understand how a school system can operate with the losses they are proposing, but why should one sector be exempt from what is happening all across the country - simply because Perdue has the NCAE in her back pocket? Or should that be the other way around? I have tried, after 5 years at home with my children, to re-enter the education work force and can't get back in with a crow-bar! So, I know whence I speak.
I don't want anyone to lose jobs, but has anyone looked at losses in other categories that are being cut with any of the budgets? I am sure there are other sectors that would be cut. No one is pointing those out in their arguments. Just the Holy Grail of education. Free public education in this country is a privelege. Not a right. The majority of the rest of the world has to actually personally PAY to be educated, even at the youngest ages. Her sticking point is not anything other than education. But compromise has to come from both sides - and EVERYONE may have to suffer because of it, not just one or two groups.
Trying to protect one group at the expense of others is not the way to go. The proposed compromise is not that far off from what was originally proposed by Bev. What's the big deal?
I wonder what the exact difference in money spent in the CR for three months and her budget proposal is, as far as education goes. It may be minimal, maybe they can negotiate this some? If she doesn't come back with some kind of "counter offer", I will consider her worthless. There is nothing wrong with trying to negotiate.

If the Gov puts basic math stratagy to work we are talking 500 million dollar dif. Now I know thats alot of money but the taxes we THE UNEMPLOYED pay on these benifits when spending the money in the state more so pays this difference so The Gov. should SIGN OFF! Correct me.. if I am Wrong if not its a Power struggle folks and we are in the middle.....19.3 billion dollars is alot to work with....

If they get 72 votes in the house, it won't matter if she vetoes it. But that's easier said than done. 4 Dems have to cross the aisle. Let's hope they do it.

Couldn't have said it better. Perdue will be the loser IF she vetoes this again. H439 is a ncie compromise. She just doesn't want to give in to the GOP. Period. Stubborn as a mule, she is. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Bev wants to be known as the Governor that defended education, the Republicans want to be known as the Legislature that lowered taxes.
They are both fixing to be known as the NC Government that turned 50,000 unemployed into 50,000 homeless.
