Tell me, who brought home all this bacon?

Two million dollars was recently granted by the North Carolina legislature to create an "ACC Hall of Champions" in Greensboro. The $2 million grant allocation was "slipped" into the final budget. Who is responsible for this slippage?

I would like your readers to know the name of our representative who is so generous with the public's money. Would you please print his or her name so that we can remember it in the next election?

William Watson Purkey
Greensboro

Editor's note: Sen. Kay Hagan of Greensboro was instrumental in securing the money.

In the words of Brian Harper (see lottery post today) "The $2 million passed, get over it". More pork from your wallet everyone.

I heard Sen. Hagan actually voted against the $2 million before she voted for it.

I'm sure the ACC Hall of Fame will be a profitable venture.

ha ha ha.

Kehaar said:

It should be at least as profitable as the Coliseum.

Oh...wait.

And it's going to be built right next to the Civil Rights Museum too! Do I smell Skippy?
