Government’s really
no different than an organism. At heart, both want to survive and
thrive. And just like an organism, government can become bloated,
lethargic, and eventually be killed off. Right now it seems like our
state is quickly approaching – if I may steal a climate-alarmist
buzzword – a tipping point. No matter what state budget we end up with,
we’ll all be paying more. And if the “Partnership for North Carolina’s Future” grabs a majority of legislators’ fancy, we could be in for some serious trouble, says Joe Coletti
on News 14. Rarely, our state government takes steps to restrain
costs. But where the state says “whoa,” the locals scream “go.” John Hood recommends keeping local government out of the hollerin’ business altogether.
