Notice how completely the hospital lobbyists wanted to remove Treasurer Folwell from anything having to do with the State Health Plan. He wasn't even made a "voting" member of the Committee to study the Plan and to come up with a "recommended design" for it.

The "anti-Folwell" bill, HB184 made it out of the Health Committee yesterday, putting it on a course to possibly become law. It is a bill that 2 sides see very differently.

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday), legislators in the House Health Committee will vote on HB184 - a bad bill that will cost taxpayers and State Health Plan members more than $1 million per day if it's enacted.

A leading opponent of building a major wind energy facility in Carteret County says it was a tourism-depressing, jobs-killing project that was defeated in spite of, not because of, a state law passed last year to regulate environmental impacts and avoid adverse health effects of...

The first line of defense against industrial wind energy, is a strong local wind ordinance. As such, we at AWED are frequently asked for assistance in writing an effective measure.

Yesterday was black day for NC politics. The most important energy/environmental bill of the year (H298) received a setback in the Utility Committee hearing -- when 18 legislators (6 Rs + 12 Ds) voted against the Affordable and Reliable Energy Act!

At this point there aren't adequate safeguards for ANY of these groups. I have formally contacted top level DENR and DHHS people of the serious deficiencies, so it is now up to them to step up. Hopefully they will.

First Amendment protections against laws that abridge the "freedom of speech" were twisted into "freedom of expression" to justify protection for flag-burners and government subsidies for masterpieces like "Piss Christ" (a crucifix in a jar of urine).

Socialism has never worked but it is easy to sell to those who refuse to study history which is why progressives use academia as their base of operations. I'm willing to bet that "Animal Farm" and "1984" are no longer recommended reading in today's high schools.
