Nope. Never.
Nada.
Perdue has announced she will veto the state budget. According to a WRAL article:
"Perdue said, however, that the budget doesn't include enough money for schools, and Republican legislative leaders have repeatedly rebuffed her efforts to negotiate a compromise."
There's never enough money. They got the lottery funds. Thanks to Dumpling, she raided them. They get funds from courts, etc, on top of local funding, state funding, and federal funding. We have More at Four, Head Start, Pre-K, Title 1, yada yada yada.
And on the local front, I swear they keep nit picking the BOC for this paving project or that paving project. This petty need and that petty need. And then our Board of Education hires a lawyer, highly respected Raleigh law firm (can't Jimmy Love handle it??) - anyway they spend YOUR tax dollars to sue about a virtual charter school. Reason? So afraid funds will be diverted to something that works!
When our weebly educators realize that our schools cannot be a ONE STOP shop and when the KIDS matter more than grabbing our tax dollars, you'll see positive changes in the education system. Until then, send Moss and company a head of cheese to go with that whine.
On top of all of this, Perdue is vetoing a budget that gives state employees a raise! She's been yelling about raises for quite some time. So what gives, Missy? You either want state employees to have more cash or you don't!
And to boot she's salivating over "over collections".
“I am committed to ensuring that a portion of this revenue source, along with other funds, be dedicated to schools, jobs, probation and parole officers and other urgent needs," Perdue said. "I just spoke to Speaker Tillis and President Pro Tem Berger and asked them to work with me in a bi-partisan way to reach an agreement that will allow an amended budget to become law by July 1.”
What? Why can't anything over what is needed be sent back to you and me? Over collected = over taxed. It's our money anyway. Couldn't you use an extra dime or two?
Our lame duck Governor thinks she really is something else - kinda believes she can command a few things. Wonder how Walter will spin away the veto of increasing state employees' pay? Does he agree? Oh my. Let the ads begin.
