The utter wasteful spending continues in the North Carolina General Assembly. Just over $1 million was given away by the legislature for "oyster rehabilitation programs" and the oyster hatcheries at the North Carolina aquariums. What a total damn waste of good money.

But wait, it's costing more now! A legislative committee is going to get a tour of the oyster hatcheries and have someone explain to them why it's so important that we spend so much money "rehabilitating" oysters. They're serious.

And this will cost MORE money because the people giving the tour will be paid with taxpayer funds; the legislative staff will be sure to use tax money to pay for their trip; and you can bet there will be catered meals, paid for with more tax money.

They will also have "business meetings" where they will use more taxpayer money for more per diem spending, taxpayer owned buildings, and where lobbyists will ask for even MORE money for the next year for marine fisheries, mullet fisheries, and shrimp fishery management.

Yes, this is your North Carolina Democrat at work -- spending as much as often as they can.
