Thank goodness. We need this type of common sense on national level as well.

Rhess, you can rest assured if unemployment fails to improve in NC it will be "Obama's Fault." If it does go down then it will be "thanks to Pat's great leadership."

For those that think Governor Perdue ruined this State they truly don't understand how economics works in relation to the National and world economies. It is easy to blame the chief executive of a state for high unemployment and revenue deficits. In reality they have little to do with it when a nation is going through a severe recession. All they can do is react in order to keep their state afloat. In my opinion Gov. Perdue did the best she could given the economic conditions in both NC and rest of the Nation.

Governor-elect McCrory's ideas for tax reform in NC appears to do no more than toe the line of the Republican Party of lowering and/or not increasing tax rates. It is based on the 'trickle down" economic model that has failed time and time again. Making the assumption that if business pays out less money more jobs will be created is a hypothetical stretch. Also if consumers pay less taxes they will have more money in their pocket to spend is a stretch as well. The amount received is generally not enough to change consumers budgets. What McCrory doesn't seem to address is how he is going to raise revenue to lower the States deficit. He will need it in order to carry out his ambitious agenda.

McCrory can save the tax payers a great deal of money by ending the constant and very expensive testing in grade K-12 in our public school.

As a very long time state employee, I can only dream about how many rolls of toilet paper I'm going to have to bring from home because no ordering is being done. Last year, we had to go without copy paper for about a month...I guess starting now, we're going to have to purchase that among other supplies just to get our work done. Wow...and I thought this was going to be hard. Weeeee, I can't wait!!!!!! not.

Crumps Br0ther - But when the UE report comes out and its down .02% you are singing Barrys praises. its never enough is it?

We'll for one I don't sing, and two, I'm smart enough to realize that President Obama has very little to do with North Carolina's unemployment rate. Now perhaps I should be asking you whether or not anything President Obama develops is good enough, because clearly you're quick to call his name when he wasn't the topic of discussion. Keep dreaming if you think fast food jobs and temporary jobs is key to restoring this economy.

Glad to see someone is finally going to start attracting businesses instead of driving them away. Gov McCrory may not get it all done but at least he is willing to try.

Yeah and that number should drop unemployment by what a whooping .02! And do you really think creating more restaurants is going to save this economy? Offshore drilling is temporary work and comes with serious consequences if corners are cut. Lamborghini Mercy

But when the UE report comes out and its down .02% you are singing Barrys praises. its never enough is it? More money in peoples pockest has a ripple effect. And so now you are scared about corners being cut. Barry is in charge now and put the EPA on steroids, but I guess maybe we just shouldnt do anything at all, we dont any energy do we? C'mon you know deep down you want offshore drilling to happen, it will give you something to whine and cry about, and that gives you a sense of purpose

You liberal perdue worshippers are a riot! You followed so close behind her that you could sniff her underarm deodorant, blind to everything she did to shame and ruin this state. Now, because there is not a lib in office, you are shaking in your boots with fear that all your comfortable little cushions are going to be snatched away from you.

Bring it on, Gov. McCrory! Let's get some good changes in this state. One of them being a voter ID.
