The financial close achieved between Cintra and the NCDOT on May 20 should have been the end of the debate on the project if you listen to Cintra and the NCDOT. For what it’s worth, that’s the same tune they have been singing for months…”It’s a done deal”. Sound familiar? In reality, opponents are galvanized […]

It’s no secret that I support a dramatic overhaul of the election system we have in place which currently favors moneyed interests and established political parties over individual free thought and expression of values. To that end, there is a bill in the North Carolina House, HB509, The Voter Freedom Act, which would make it easier for […]
