On the daybook
I'm not talented enough to be two places at once, so at least one of these things is going to drop. But on today's calendar:
- Gov. Mike Easley says he has an announcement about HB 1761, which would create a grant payment especially for Goodyear down in Fayetteville. Pretty much any reading of the tea leaves says this is going to be a big ol' veto. More from the Tavern and Dome.
- Robert Orr, a former Supreme Court justice and current Republican candidate for governor, will lay out why he thinks the economic development grant Easley proposes instead of the one in that bill is a bad idea. That's 2 p.m. at GOP headquarters on Hillsborough Street.
- Richard Moore, state treasurer and Democratic candidate for governor, will be making a stop in High Point today. Catch him at noon during the High Point Business Expo at Showplace. I don't know about the speech, but if you're in High Point and haven't seen the building, it's worth a stop.
