This sounds like typical Raleigh politicians. NEVER NEVER NEVER cut giveaway programs, always raise taxes on people paying taxes. Wake up people, they will tax your great-great grandchildren trying to solve problems today caused by mismanagement, greed and utter disregard for the people's wishes. Of course, the people put them in office knowing what personality and ethical flaws they had. "A government powerful enough to give citizens everything they want, is powerful enough to take everything they have." Kiss your retirement goodbye.
