What a spendthrift Jim Perry is. The money to welfare type organizations raises eyebrows, but the big one is continuing to pour lots of money into the biggest boondoggle in state history, the "Global Transpark" to the tune of $16 million of taxpayer money. This failure goes all the way back to the early 1990s when a business professor at NC State University convinced the governor that the fad of "just in time manufacturing" was about to really take off in the business world, and that building a facility geared to that concept would give NC a leg up in attracting industry. They built the Global Transpark but nobody came. The fad of just in time manufacturing did not take off as the professor had thought. The Transpark got labeled appropriately as the "Transpork" because the state kept beating this dead horse, continuing to put money into it. They did get a couple of aircraft repair type businesses, smallish operations that did not justify all the expenditures, but they kept limping along. The Transpark is an example of government programs that never seem to die even though they should have been put out of their misery long ago. The Global Transpark was an idea that failed decades ago but spendthrift Senator Jim Perry is boasting about wasting another $16 million there.

More pork. Meanwhile Perry was trying to get the Obamacare Medicaid expansion accepted, something that Republican voters do NOT want. Fortunately conservatives in the House blocked that in spite of Perry trying to offer them pork to go along. Perry is a real porker.
