It appears Senator Berger is full of Baloney on the tax issues. The issue of refunding education is small compared to the recent gas tax increase which we hear little or nothing about. Prior to recess the house tried to block the gas tax and Senator Berger left town and shelved the issue from the Senate. Instead of grand standing over three quarters of cent you would think a responsible leader would fight a little bigger battle. My daughter is a public school teacher and like many she spends a lot of her salery on supplies and teaching aids because the schools dont have the funds to give teachers what they need to do their jobs. Here in Southeast North Carolina we have a lot of transplant retirees and education funding hits their hot button. However when your body is in one place and your heart is in another, educating our children is less important than driving from golf course to golf course.
