Republicans didn’t want to use the Hunt-held device money for just any ordinary school buses.
Nope.
Republican Senators wanted the money to go to Triad-based Thomas Built Buses, Inc. Who would not be on board with using the money to purchase the new Saf-T-Liner? C2 and ever reliable Saf-T-Liner? EF and Saf-T-Liner? HDX models?
Leave it to Republicans to make this an argument about economic development, rather than the possible Jim Hunt connection to the handheld device software company, Wireless Generation.
