Please look at the numbers for 2009 to 2011 budgets and let us know how much the Democrats who approved that NC Budget gave to education.<br /><br />Now, look at the fy 2011-2012 state budget, the first under the Republican legislature and let us know how much the Republicans budgeted for education. <br /><br />Now, for fy 2012-13 school year, Republicans have proposed to increase the current budget for education and have provided for teacher pay raises. Perdue has vetoed this budget. What now? Back to the original 2012-13 budget without the increase approved by the Republican legislature? No raises for teachers and other state employees AS PASSED BY THE REPUBLICAN LED LEGISLATURE? Nope...Perdue vetoed those increases. Good luck with that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-67086797234023596732012-06-30T16:39:00.425-05:002012-06-30T16:39:00.425-05:00Maybe if Purdue vetoes the budget, there will be t...Maybe if Purdue vetoes the budget, there will be time to do some discharge petitions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-82448673207238887552012-06-30T12:44:08.625-05:002012-06-30T12:44:08.625-05:00I won't claim she's governed effectively, ...I won't claim she's governed effectively, but I do think her numbers are bad at least in part because she chose not to run again. That certainly reads like she's not up to the task.<br /><br />But, I must say, at least we don't have Rick Scott as our governor. He must be relieved that Bev has knocked him off the top of the worst governors list. I know a lot of people from Florida and from what they say he's been a real disaster. Perdue may not be great but I don't think she's caused the state any lasting harm like Scott is in FL.<br /><br />I do think the current NC Legislature might cause the state real harm with their cuts to education and their waste-of-time, head-in-the-sand bills like amendment 1 and the one trying to manipulate scientific data about sea level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-84910728685220762312012-06-30T10:55:06.332-05:002012-06-30T10:55:06.332-05:00Fine.
