Ongoing NC GOP debacle thread

I'm pretty sure there is research that smokers don't mind going outside to smoke and actually like the camaraderie.

surely there has been some GOP idiocy since this thread was last updated?
 
legislature is still out of session.

However, there was an entertaining list of the Republican primary candidates for Howard Coble's seat in this morning's paper. I was particularly amused at Jeff Philips, who current sits on the Guilford County board of commissioners :rulz:. His business is financial advisor, and under educational attainment he stated "9 hours short of a bachelor's degree in science".

WTF is letting this guy manage their money?
 
What institution of higher education awards a bachelor's degree in "science?"
 
They're already backpedaling on the teacher raises they promised saying there's no money available for it. So there's that.
 
So, apparently the Lt. Governor and Senator Tillman will unveil their own teacher pay plan? And apparently it is to be funded with an endowment made up of donations? LOLWUT? Did someone go rogue here?

An "endowment made up of donations"? Does he think we're trying to save Pandas from deforestation or something? These are real life state employees that deserve a real life raise from state funds. Republicans and their fucking charity. Just raise taxes on something and shut the fuck up.

But there's more! People will be able to donate their tax returns directly OR purchase a vanity plate to support the endowment. Lt Gov Forester "hopes it'll become self sustaining."

How long has it been since teachers got a raise? 5 years? 6 years?

This is out of fucking control. We are playing chicken with a very valuable, and dramatically underpaid, resource. These idiots need to stop dicking around before our state's education system mirrors Mississippi's.
