The really sad part is these people knew they were being overpaid and didn't even have to show up at work and they just kept quiet and kept taking out tax paid money.

They should all be in jail for corruption, bribery and a whole laundry list of charges.

What group of people do you think would be the biggest blockade in getting liquor sold in private stores?

Hints: It's not the goverment. And, they hold services every Sunday.

Heck, we're still trying to fight the religious Blue Laws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_law

Banker says it was one of the best business models he had ever seen. The only business in the County selling, with State enforcement, an addictive substance is a pretty good start.

It doesnt really matter what their party afflation is corruption is corruption in my estimation. But when you get right down to it they were probably (blue dog democrats) because they aren't any different than a right-winged wing nut of the republican party Thank You

Always ask yourself this question, "How much would the free market pay these folks to run a liquor store?" The answer is, a whole lot less than they are being paid. Yet, ANOTHER great example of government run 'anything' run badly and over budget.

Sort of like how much we are paying the Wake Co school superintendant. And the funny thing is that the schools are not getting any better.

For that kind of money they must of been paid by the drink - theirs, not the public's.

Gas = Liquor

Does anyone see the connection?

Gas sells. Sells to public at high price while company makes record profits each quarter. Poor man goes broke.

Liquor sells. Sells to public at higher cost than a pepsi. Record Salaries. Poor man goes broke, but broke with a smile.

If North Carolina wants to truly be a modern, up & coming State...they need to relinquish the sale of liquor to privately owned businesses. They would still receive any set taxes but save on the extravagant salaries and "good 'ol boy" politics that continue to haunt and hamper our continued success. It's 2010...get with it!
