Goolsby et al are only paying lip service. In another report Goolsby's quoted as "not hearing from teachers" which is a lie. As a resident of New Hanover and an educator myself, I've contacted his office on more than one occasion voicing my concerns over the action of the legislature, with no response. Every record I've seen on his efforts in the NC legislature shows anything but supporting educators. He stands with his party who continue to belittle teachers on every education bill they attempt to pass. It is time for more than lip service Mr. Goolsby. It is time for the focus to be on our children, not on the bottom line is or what company "may" or may not locate here because of your attempts to legislate education.

If you want to show us you support education and educators in our state, more so in NHC, it's time for you to stand up and lead.
