This year the Nc Legislature has let us down. The so-called Education Lottery is not for education anymore. It should be called greedy politician lottery. Has anyone seen the NC lottery commercial that has been on TV where they brag about raising over 1 Billion dollars to be used for education? Now, on top of them cutting lottery money for education, raising dependent insurance, co payments, deductibles in the state health plan for employees, cutting their annual pay, furloughs, allowing the insurance commissioner to raise homeowners insurance especially in NC coastal areas. Then they tax you on gas higher than ever, even if you buy gas for use in a lawnmower or weedeater (offroad). Now, there are talks of taxing NC drivers by-the-mile! WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO! I am leaving NC if they continue on this rampage. tax, tax , tax, spend spend spend, waste , waste
