There aint going to be no change. McCory done feed his buddies cake by giving them a raise. Unemployment benefits will be cut. So just what kind of change has been good so far. Sounds like the same old same old. Just a different set of crooks with their hands in the pot. The thousands with no jobs, no unemployment benefits might just soon storm Raleigh. I think we will soon see riots and demonstrations on the government. People have had more than enough. No future for a job. That has always been the difference in our country and others. People here had a future, hopes, dreams. They have them no more. People are going to get very tired of rich politicians who only think about themselves. McCory has already made it clear that he has no sympathy or compassion for the people who are cold, hungry and desperate. Remember desperate people do desperate things. Standard equipment for politicans will soon be bullet proof vest.

One must wonder how much it cost to have a inaugural celebration of the Governor of NC and the President of the US. I can only wonder how many homeless folks could be fed, or how many schools could be protected by officers for the money that is spend on these celebrations. The voting is over, and we know who holds the office. Why do we, as the taxpayers have to pay for a celebration that we can't even attend.

"least unionized state" means you can get fired at any time, for anything and not have anyone in your corner to help you fight, unless you pay them. Yeah, that's great....

I'm worried about this group of leaders. I think they're going to ruin the beauty of this state for fracking. They're going to kill any advances made for anyone other than white dudes. I agree, dark days ahead for NC.

What's not to hate? McCrony broke his campaign promise to be a "political outsider" and "root out special interest" by essentially selling this authority to his benefactor. Art Pope made a fortune selling cheap Chinese garbage to poor people and redistributing the wealth to undermine public education, workers rights, environmental stewardship, and women's health with his rightwing Civitas organization.

"Oh you poor poor Democrats and your sour grapes. Republicans won, so the voters must be stupid, right? Time to stop crying and blaming voters, and own up to your failed policies. Let's see if you can take as many dirty tricks as you've been dishing out. NCJoe"

Hey Joe, we have the nation. You are more then welcome to Mississippi North East.

Nobody that voted for Gov. McCrory or a Republican legislator in the state of North Carolina expects anything but negativity for four years from WRAL and the McClatchy twins (N&O and CO)

That is just the way they roll. In fact, they may have a tougher time dealing with the loss of power than the Democrats in the back row for the first time in over a hundred years.

Remind me again...why do you hate Art Pope? He's working for free. Dr.Aldona Wos is working for the grand salary of $1.00.

According to the media, they are "paying" to play.

Wish Mike and Mary Easley had paid to play at that rate.

jgilchr, I am a woman and not at all afraid of what these folks are going to do. It's a shame what we women have had to go through under the rule of the dems, and now, it's going to change! No wonder you dems are spitting acid over this.

It's about time that we have people on Jones St. that are looking out for this state, and are wanting to do the best for it. Just get the Voter ID passed please.

aw now come on WRAL--you know that the reference to the tracking program you have for our new governor is going to show up--and the question is going to be asked "why not a similar program for Obama, Easley, Purdue, etc. Its gonna happen--so why not let it go through and be done with it???

Maybe you mad now because yuhave to get off the porch and go to work. You won't be getting 5 years of unemployment anymore while you sit around.
