CALDWELL COUNTY GOOGLE DEAL TO FACE LEGAL CHALLENGE

Former NC Supreme Court Judge Bob Orr (who incidentally wants to be your next Republican governor) is planning a big splashy legal challenge to the sales tax giveaway deal that Google received to set up shop in Caldwell County.

The sales tax exemption on electricity and equipment is illegal, says Orr, because it gave special treatment to one company, "which would seem to run counter to the fact that there be uniformity in the tax law."

We'll not quarrel with that logic.
