hope someone has got an eye on perdue, my gut says she is going to pull something before she leaves office. She is a scorned woman and I think we have all seen that side of her.

Hope she leaves most of the towels and silverware when she leaves

I hope Food stamps and Medicaid is reeled in and people who pay no taxes but work and do not leave a peper trail are caught. Also that NC stops paying for Aliens to have babies. If they get pregnant they should be able to pay their own OB and Hospital delivery care.

I personaly will work to my best ability to insure that mccory is a one term for sure i will personaly make this issues my full time endevor to see to it that he is one an done just as mitch mcconnnal has stated about the president of these united states thank you

Thank you Mr McCrory. It's about time. No more Joker.

Also, I find it laughable that people are complaining about the Democrats making backroom deals while lauding a Republican being voted in. Do you not see that this is just as bad? Do you not realize that those historical Democrats would be members of the Republican party today? The "Dixiecrats" of days gone by migrated to the Republican party starting with Strom Thurmond in the 1940s. They ran the Republicans of the time out of the party and over to the Democratic party. Same policies and beliefs, different label.

futhermore I am paying for the employees that administer the retirement program, 3 of those employees make, they do not earn almost $1.5 million dollars combined yearly.

If they were so great at their job, the fund should pay their saleries, and how many more work in that group that are being paid by the TAX PAYERS

Quit pamper yourself with warm and fuzzies, and learn the truth

Fracking will not make the state self sufficient. The state cannot process whatever is harvested. That will be whatever company he sells us out to. What we'll wind up doing is having to clean up the mess the frackers leave behind. He is going to destroy our beautiful state.

QUSTION TO GERALDWAYNE WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN SMOKING FOR YOU TO POST SUCH A POST AS THAT YOU POSTED ON HERE . HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST YOUR EVER LASTING MIND. IT WILL NOW STATR FOR SURE A COMPLETE AN TOTAL DOMONATION OF THE STATE TAXPAYERS TEASURAY THE LABOR DEPATMENT AN EVER OTHER STATE AGENCY WHERE THERE WILL NOT BE ABYHTING THAT WILL EVER GET DONE OR ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE STATES TAXPAYERS AGAIN IN THIS STATE IT WILL ALL BE FOR THE COMPLETE DOMONIATION OF THE STATES TAXPAYERS BY THE COPORATE INSTREST AS IT HAS ALMOST BEEN ALREADY UNDER THE PERDUE ADMINSTRACTION FOR HER ENTIRE ADMIN AS HAS BEEN FOR THE COPORATE INSTREST AN THE SPECIAL INSTREST SHE SHOULD NEVER AGIN BE ALLOWED TO RUN FOR ANY OFFICE IN THIS STATE AGAIN.BUT SHE IS PROBABLY WALKING OUT OF OFFICE WITH HER POCKETS STUFF FULL FROM THE COPORATE INSTREST IN THIS STAE FOR HER COMPLETE AN TOAL SELL OUT OF THE STATES TAXPAYERS THANK YOU

For you all that somehow don't think the tax payers are funding the state retirement program, use your fingers, a calculator what ever you have - 6% before taxes into the fund will not under any circumstances yeild 75% of your base pay at retirement.

I don't care if you pay into the fund for 100 years, the simple numbers do not work.

Where do you think that money is coming from? Its mana from heaven

You need to get your facts straight

Damien Thorne - You FAIL to understand. Government stimulus means more of our money taken away. If a job needs to go away then so be it. How does getting rid of a job costing $$$ and paying out unemployment $ cost even more money? Perhaps you should try that math again.

what good is cutting a deficit if it causes 30% unemployment rates? Who do you think pays for that? And At the end of the day, people's lives are far more important than plus and minus figures. If you cut jobs, who's creating jobs?
