The Governor vetoed the NC legislature's budget which reduced our education spending to the level of Mississippi.
All over a penny sales tax.
Are the citizens of NC so cheap we would withhold a penny from our schools? I don't think so.
But all of the Republican members of the general assembly and five Democrats made it clear they don't give a fig for our children. Or our college students. Or the economic future of the state.
I know something about Mississippi. I started school there in 1943. I graduated from Ole Miss in 1958.
If you really want to, it isn't hard to win a race to the bottom.
We don't want to go there.
But as I warned before, we are eating our seed corn. I hope we enjoy it.
