One of the issues the General Assembly is set to address is whether or not to create a tax credit for the working poor. Roy Cordato told the Wilmington Star-News that such a thing could skew the incentives structure.  Also of interest, are the responses to Michael Sanera‘s locally-targeted Spotlights on government-run golf courses. In Lexington, the City Manager took time during the council meeting to defend the existence of the city’s golf course. Thomasville did something similar. Fears that one day the portion of Hillsborough Street that frames NC State might be poxed with roundabouts may be quelled, according to the News & Observer.  I think we all owe a bit of thanks to Jenna Robinson for her work on the issue.
