As a scheme to bring multiple casinos to North Carolina is advancing and sports betting has already won approval in the legislature, Beaufort County's state senator, Jim Perry (RINO-Kinston), who has been a major player in pushing both issues, is a finalist for a major award from a national organization of the gambling industry. Perry shares one of the four finalist spots with RINO Rep. Jason Saine of the NC House as "Gambling Policymaker of the Year" in the 2023 American Gambling Awards. The other three finalists are from Missouri, Kentucky, and Massachusetts.

Perry has been heavily funded for his campaign by gambling and marijuana interests, and was recently named by an organization that monitors campaign contributions as the third biggest recipient of campaign money from gambling and marijuana interests in the entire 170-member General Assembly, receiving $25,100.

The state senate district occupied by Perry includes all of Beaufort, Craven, and Lenoir counties, and is up for election again in 2024.

RINO Senator Jim Perry has beern a big government whore on a lot of things. He was a leading supporter of the Obamacare Medicaid expansion and also of the far left NC Green New Deal, just to mention two of the most important ones. This dude might as well be a Democrat as he votes like one. We really need to dump this turkey in the primary. He is now also pushing the "NC Innovation" slush fund boondoggle to waster taxpayer money for insider payoffs.

Ten Years (now 25 years later) After 9/11: a Recollection, a Time to Remember

It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.
