City Budget Bunglers
Residents of Charlotte’s southern suburbs could see fewer capital projects headed their way, and still end up paying a higher city tax rate, if discussions to reach consensus on a city budget stay one course set yesterday at an emergency meeting that was called after the full council earlier this week voted down the city […]
Limit Government, Not Liberty
We used to recognize them by their entrenched contradictions; Republicans were the party of free enterprise and regulated morality while Democrats were the party of civil liberties and economic confiscation. Libertarians were also easy to identify – we took the best from each to form the party of free enterprise AND civil liberties. Think of […]
TIME Out On Reality; UPDATE: Obama Limits Deportations
If you are under the age of 70 and not sitting in a dentist’s office you probably haven’t seen the latest edition of TIME magazine. The cover has a photograph that features about 20 folks standing around with their faces clearly visible. That is important because the people featured allegedly only live in the shadows, […]
Hey, About That County Budget Tax Trim
While the city council’s recent flash of fiscal responsibility and its predictable propensity for doling out taxpayer largess, coupled with the squabble between county commissioners and school board members over restricted CMS funding, have taken center stage in the latest budget sagas, nearly lost in the shuffle has been the ruse of what county leaders […]

Great Budget Night At City Council
We have to share our experience at Charlotte City Council Monday night, so here goes: A great, noisy and activated group of SMART supporters, as well as a good number of supporters from CAUTION another group that focuses on parts of Charlotte further north, were there at City Council for everyone in South East, North […]
Obamanomics 101
Remember, folks, according to our economist-in-chief, the private sector is doing fine. This from WaPo, which reports that the last three years have “wiped out nearly two decades of Americans’ wealth, according to government data released Monday, with middle-class families bearing the brunt of the decline.” The Federal Reserve said the median net worth of […]
Kanye’s New Kicks
Race-baiting performer Kanye West has come out with a new line of Air Yeezy tennis shoes. Gosh, I wish I would have known about two weeks ago when I was shopping for new sneaks. I ordered my brand new New Balance 623’s online for a great discount price of fifty bucks. I was amazed that […]
