It has frankly always astounded me that primary elections have relatively lower turnout than their general election […]

Spending What We Don’t Have

And then spending some more. That seems to be the standard operating model for the N.C. General Assembly, where the Senate recently approved taking on $451 million of non-voter-approved debt for, among other items, building some new engineering facilities for N.C. State and AT&T State.

Johnson Fires Back at D’Annunzio on Questions of Tea Party Support, Voting Record

Open Forum Friday

Tossed out for general discussion and debate; feedback and comments encouraged: * Convicted murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed by firing squad in Utah last night. Would you have pulled the trigger? Not just philosophically, as in supporting the death penalty; but literally, as in stepping behind the firing line? * Mayor Anthony Foxx has […]
