Meck Deck feels sorry for Charlotteans who voted for Bev Purdue, saying the guv “shifted ever so slightly off of her promise to start the last leg of 485 by the end of the year. Turns out it all depends on convincing the feds to send money to do the job.”
And with all the hollering about the grave state of the I-85 bridge over the Yadkin River, we’re still wondering where the money for that project will materialize. NCDOT says the project’s “shovel ready,” despite earlier reports that it wouldn’t be “ready to go” in 120 days, thus the need to apply for a discretionary grant. Don’t panic if you’re confused.
Back to campaign promises — guess what other promise Perdue has shifted ever so slightly on? If you guessed free community college for everyone, you’d be right.
