Thanks Lynn. It's hanging until November 15th if you choose to make a trip to Greenville and dine there!

John Latham: I have no idea who you are, and have no desire to know you. But before you go running your mouth about something know nothing about, you should just keep it shut!!! But I will take a minute to enlighten you on a few facts. Julie Ann Harris is a lier, and a theif, plan and simple with no reguards to anyone but herself!!! She has not lived there 14 years. She did not have kennels in her yard until just a couple of years ago. In her deed it clearly states that she is not to operate a business from her home, have animals that disturb her neighbors and many other stated restrections. She was aware of these rules when she signed her deed to buy her property. She has no sanitary facilities to store or discard the animal waste, so she dumps it in the woods of an ajoining lot that does not belong to her, and the owner lives far away and know nothing about it. So why don't you come and smell it awhile for yourself....Now if you have any other opinons that you want to voice, come voice them in person to the people that have to live next to this crap and noise.

It is good that you are getting serious about tax reform BUT, the flat tax is just another form of income tax. Take the power and the opportunity for abuse away from government. Replace the income tax, flat tax with a consumption tax. Collect the revenue needed to run the government at the point of sale. Retailers are already doing it for state taxes just expand to include Federal tax collection. That way there are no tax filing requirements, Get the government out of our personal finances all together

These are included in the new law? or "The Revenue Laws Study Committee is directed to study the tax issues listed in this subsection"

The authority of cities and counties to impose a privilege tax on businesses and the various State privilege license taxes.

The authority of cities and counties to impose a privilege tax on businesses and the various State privilege license taxes.

#3 in the hand of Orange County... is concern enough for me to put out a for sale sign(as if there were not enough already).

#7 leaves the door open...I suppose this is is to be used as an rounding error should the forecast uptick does not proceed as planned, but leaving a door open is never a good idea when so many are asleep and hardly stir as new taxes come in.

In Memory
Those we Love remain with us,
for Love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade,
because a loved one is gone.
Those we Love can never be,
more than a thought apart.
For as long as there is a memory,
they’ll live on in our heart.
To the Moore family, he will be missed.
Ms. Priscilla Young

No one ever pictures the extreme poverty prevalent in Washington and Beaufort County. Why?

Nothing but racist drivel. You, Tan, are part of the problem--not the solution.

They need to give state employees a COLA. Five days off - paid is all we're getting. How is that going to help pay bills? We're about tired of bonus days...we need money for the ever increasing gas, grocery shopping, increase in monthly bills.

Would you consider this to concern your "local folk"? A street in Washington, middle of town. Within 6 MONTHS time the following has happened: a murder, two break ins; two drug raids; two houses that can't keep occupants because of drug dealers...and one drug dealer arrested for selling cocaine within a certain distance of a school....that said drug dealer's girlfriend being pulled on hwy 264 with coke in the car ready to sell. Doesn't get any more "local folk" than that. And one of those arrested has several "Priors"...yet he's free to sell drugs to school kids. It concerns me.

Take a good look around Washington. Get out and ride down the streets in the center of town. Get out and walk on those streets. Places that were once safe places to live are now inhabited by drug dealers, shootings/murders, break-ins (on the SAME road all within 6 months). Everyone turns a blind eye to it. Washington to NOT safe. Sure, the drug dealers MAY be arrested, but they're turned loose and put on "probation"....yet, they are still dealing the drugs. They go right back home and start dealing the same day they get back home. In one neighborhood, there has been a murder, three drug raids, and two houses that can't keep occupants due to drug dealings, and TWO break ins that have been called into WPD. It's a shame when the WPD tells you that they "can't guarantee someone can do a drive by" when it's a single female living in the middle of all this. So, if that's not affecting the "local folks", I don't know what is.

While I've no doubt that this article is well-intentioned, it nonetheless denotes a gross misunderstanding of SB 664. And let me establish here and now that I am not among the "vested special interests" within North Carolina. What I am is a social worker with 7 years of experience working in rape crisis and domestic violence agencies throughout North Carolina. What this article fails to point out is that SB 664 establishes eligibility criteria that only 20% of NC counties are currently able to meet-- not due to corruption, but because those agencies are already working on a shoe-string budget to keep the doors open and ensure that survivors of sexual and domestic violence have access to the services they need. At the same time, the bill makes ZERO provisions to help the remaining 80 of our 100 counties meet the eligibility requirements. And we're not talking here about easy-to-meet requirements that involve changes to paperwork. We're talking about requirements that in order to receive state funds, a given county must have a DV shelter. Currently, only 49 of the 100 counties in this state have DV shelters-- again, not because there is not NEED, but because there is not FUNDING. This article makes it sound as if victim service agencies in NC are rolling in cash, when the reality is that most of us are one bad grant season away from having to lay off essential staff or even close our doors. SB 664 will only restrict that funding further and make it harder for us to do our jobs of serving survivors of rape and domestic violence-- because when it comes down to it, those survivors are the ones whose lives hang on this bill. SB 664 is bad policy. Period.

As an early childhood advocate, I have really not done the research I should have done. When a pre-K program was started and I was in charge, it was suggested that the first enrolled students be followed through graduation. Of course that was never done. I appreciate people who have done the research and have determined that by 3rd grade there is no significant improvement in the Pre-K students. I do think it gives the underprivileged children a good start they would not get in their homes. But is worth the cost. Maybe people who are pushing this should do a lot of research. What is the answer for those who cannot afford daycare or private Pre-k?
