The legislators in Raleigh will try to float anything by the populace. There should have been a "rainy day fund" for the state when times were good. Instead, like any group trying to maintain power over the residents, they spend any and all monies over the budget. Keep track of what they spend, and then vote the leeches out of office. North Carolina has one of the highest gas taxes of many nearby states. Vote them out. No more pork. No more giveaways to societal leeches.
