Janet Cowell Caves

NC State Treasurer Janet Cowell, who is also chair of the board of trustees for the State Health Plan, has announced that controversial changes to the state employees health plan for 2018 have been taken off the agenda for the board's meeting tomorrow.

Janet Cowell is a Democrat. In a surprise move late last year, she announced that she would not be running for reelection, or for anything else.

Sometimes, public pressure works.

Thank you for covering this issue. It's getting almost no attention. I hope you will continue to watch it--I don't think this is over yet.

As a Republican, I do think it is time for Jonathan Jordon to go. I strongly support Ronnie Marsh to take his role. Ronnie has been an active part of this community all of his life and will represent the constituents even more than his opponent in the upcoming primary. Concerning issues such as this post, I think we need to be very careful who we send to Raleigh

As a Democrat, I support Sue Counts without question. She is just about the finest person I have ever met and an outstanding candidate. She offers a life of service to her fellow human beings and is smart and dedicated.
