I got my University of Georgia Magazine yesterday and found this bit from an alumni profile of North Carolina Chamber of Commerce chairman Robert Stolz interesting (emphasis added):
Robert Stolz had been in Charlotte just a couple of weeks when a group of older men from the business community came to visit him.
They handed him a list of organizations—the state Democratic party, the state Chamber of Commerce, Leadership North Carolina—and suggested he get involved with them.
Anyone who has watched the state Democratic Party in action over the past few years could be excused for thinking that “suggestion” sounds more like “an offer you can’t refuse.”
