Same Ol’ Same Ol’
I’m back from my travels…raise your hand if you’ve been indicted so I can get a quick count.
No one?
So what is the big news from the past couple weeks? Let’s see: the Republicans are stilling hammering away at Jim Black and the various ethics campaigns for the fall elections (complete with a campaign style attack ad – very Washington), the Democrats are doing their best to ignore the Republicans and rolling out policy ideas, and Gov. Easley is continuing his annual ritual of signing bills one at a time now that the legislature has left town.
Glad I didn’t miss any parties.
If I were actually doing anything useful today – other than sitting in meetings and deleting the spam jamming my e-mail – here’s what would be on the agenda:
- Gov. Easley is getting ready to sign SB 353, the landfill moratorium. This is the bill meant to curb the construction of mega-landfills while the state figures out if and how the permit them in the long run. If you’re in the Wilmington area, check him out at 11:30 a.m. in room L228 of the Cape Fear Community College Health Science Building (415 North 2d Street) in Wilmington.
- Joe Sinsheimer, the Democratic strategist of www.jimblackmustgo.com fame is holding a presser at 304 East Jones Street (Corner of Person and Jones Street) in Raleigh. Does he have some new tidbit on Black or is going to complain that Sen. Andrew Brock’s www.STOPJimBlack.com website is a knock of his?
- It’s not today, but I’m in a bulleting mood: State Treasure Richard Moore will hold a presser on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. to hammer H&R Block for offering those short-term tax anticipation loans. The State of N.C. holds a bunch of H & R Block stock.
Y’all be good while I get back to filling out paperwork.
