As a NC State Employee (and yes before you assume otherwise, I am OFF work and on my time) I think the comment you made is completely OUT OF LINE, but there seems to be a lot of folks that think the way you do.

Yes, there is waste in state gov't, but I can guarantee you, it isn't in your 19-20 or even 30k workers. We WORK and we work hard for low wages and little appreciation with sky rocketing health care premiums, benefits that are constantly in jeoprady, and we all wonder if we'll have a job after recent RIF's!

I love my job and I am grateful for it, I've been at it for 18+ years, am not rich, wasn't when I started and dang sure won't be when I leave. Just like most folks I have struggled to make ends meet, struggled to raise my children and struggled to get them through college.

So, on behalf of all State Employees, I'd like to thank you, personally, for your kind words.
