nc gov. easley worried about slowing revenues

Published Jun. 28, 2008

Gov. Mike Easley, seeking cost savings to head off a potential revenue shortfall in the coming fiscal year, urged Democratic legislative leaders Friday to consider scrapping some agreed-upon tax relief and spend less on state employee salaries.

 

My heart be still!  The first words out of His Highness's mouth is "kill the tax relief".

 

Who would have ever guessed!!!  Typical Demo

The reason Weasley is concerned about slowing revenue is he has another European trip planned and he wants to be sure he will have $50,000 a week to rent a car. What a weasle

I'm sorry, I worked in the private sector, with many State employees. Be careful, not to be in the way of the door at starting or quitting time. Thru attrition, 20% could go, and he gov. would not skip a beat...maybe more. I still have friends there, and they would tell you the same thing.

"...we pay the highest gas tax in the southeast, the state dems are as corrupt as can be (Wright, Phipps, Black, Ballance), the gov. takes an extravagant trip on our dime, & wants us to think he cares. I think the emperor has no clothes."

The deamoncrats are not corrupt. Why in our county, Harnett, there are more of theem in the cemetery who are still actively voting than any other county in the state.

Here we bury them 12 (twelve) feet deep 'cause deep down they are good people.

There has always been inequities of raises for teachers and other state people. Yet output in schools is not what it could be. I don't mind giving teachers good salary adjustments but I think it should be on a merit basis. Those teachers that send students to the next lever should be able to do exceptionally well then that proven teacher gets a better raise.

Don't hang me now!!!

The worst things that could have ever happened to education (1)Intergrating the schools LIKE HAPPENED. The kids should not havae been intergrated FIRST. My thoughts are that the teachers should have been moved at leas two years before the kids were. Let the teachers adjust first. (2) HIring of teachers's aides. If the teachers needed more help way back when this program started, get more teachers.

OK ready for the noose.

What a jerk! He was the one pushing for a 7% teacher raise which would have created a huge riff in inequality between teachers and other state employees raises. And now he is wanting to scrap all of it since he didnt get his way.

Studley - the employees could in fact be paid more within the construct of a smaller budget. There is much pork that needs to be melted off the Government Pig.

oh yeah GOD forbid he cant write off his next trip to europe

Oh You're KILLIN me! Many State employees are suffering as it is!
