When I took note of the opportunistic commenter who suggested that North Carolina get South Carolina’s share of the stimulus money, I was kinda sorta poking fun at the guy, never imagining this:
Many governors have been critical of the $787 billion stimulus package. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have been among those who have said they may not take all the stimulus money. But Gov. Beverly Perdue has said she would gladly take the money that other governors don’t want to use.
“I’ve actually said for states that don’t want their money, North Carolina has a truck and will come to the capital and take their money and bring it to our state,” Perdue said on the second day of the meeting.
Turns out the joke’s on me. Maybe one day I’ll wise up.
