I previously mentioned that Governor Easley had vetoed a $40 million cash present from the General Assembly to Goodyear. Apparently either Goodyear had bribed enough Democrat politicians, or the Democrats just decided that their royal favor would fall on Goodyear this year. Either way, it was a present for the company for doing nothing. Governor Easley vetoed that bill.
At the time, I and other Republicans pointed out the various things that could have been done with that $40 million (including repairing roads since the road budget was exactly $40 million short this year). Then the legislature went into special session because the Democrats were SO mad at Easley for stopping their cash present. There were debates and dicussions about how much Democrats could spend and cash presents. There were dreamy discussions about how the money could best be spent.
But in the end, the North Carolina Democrats do as North Carolina Democrats do -- they voted to spend EVEN MORE! A quick review:
The Democrats in the General Assembly voted to give Goodyear a cash present of $40 million.
Governor Easley vetoed that as "too much."
The Democrats met in special session and voted to spend $60 million on cash presents to Goodyear AND Bridgestone!
Governor Easley (D) approves.
Democrats LOVE spending your money -- and they would rather give it to private businesses they like than build and repair roads.
