---The Industrial Commission should be fired. Are they the only ones who have knowledge of Workers' Comp? Maybe that is why they are so unfare and biased. They think they are the only ones who know anything so they can rule however they like even if it defies law and common sense. I could site numerous cases...If they are competent and qualified they can apply for the job again. Love how when one party does something it is fine but when another party does the same thing people are outraged---

I would love to hear your case citations. As a Workers Compensation attorney, I would love to hear how you think the IC is biased. CaseyS February 7, 2013 10:51 a.m

You know as well as I do this crowd is short on facts, and long on blustery party politics. I think if the Dems did this, it was wrong, and it's still wrong if the Republicans doing it, it is STILL wrong. Shame on both parties for doing this.

Times have changed and with them the old guard has to go. Glad to see it.

These actions will not serve the people of North Carolina well in the short run or the long run.

sounds like McCroy wants to abolish balance of powers by removing judges and appointments.

Why didn't we get this kind of coverage from when the Democrats were in charge of everything?

The problem I see here is the Republicans, when called out for doing something underhanded or just plain wrong, always reply with, "Well, the Democrats have been doing it for decades." Well, either way, things are still being done wrong. You can't keep doing the same old, same old forever. If the Democrats fired entire boards, then that was wrong. For the Republicans to do it, is again wrong. Some of those people are likely very good at their job, and bring a lot of experience with them. To summarily get rid of entire boards in an obvious power-grab, is simply, and still, wrong. For you to accuse someone of 'not having a clue' yet you allow this same pattern of behavior to go unchecked tells me that it is perhaps you that is lacking in the clues. prodigalrn February 7, 2013 8:31 a.m. Report abuse

Please list one good thing any of the boards or commissions listed has done and why they should keep their jobs. Just one

wildpig can you tell us what is balance of power? if one party controls everything how is that balance? pot meet kettle.... Gidder Dun February 7, 2013 8:38 a.m. Report abuse

So you complained for the last 100 years too right? Sit down and shut up. You lost. As your president said: get in the back seat and watch us move forward

It appears this Republican program has been very successful so far. Unfortunately, to the extent that is does succeed, it also undermines the American democracy. ILoveDowntownRaleigh February 6, 2013 7:56 p.m. Report abuse

Look at the maps in california. Nancy pelosi pulls 70% of the vote year after year. Either she gerrandered or that district should be removed from the union.
