So easy, even a Republican can do it.
Increasing teacher pay
+ Gang prevention grants
+ Prescription drugs assistance for seniors
= a good state budget.
That's the kind of math Republicans ought to be able to understand. Not only did they get it, but they voted overwhelmingly for it. Now Republicans are bad-mouthing the same budget they voted for in the North Carolina Conservative. But that kind of subtraction just leaves voters confused. Are they for it or against it? It doesn't matter. With a budget that improves education, assists military families, and makes our communities safer, the decision is easy. In fact, it's so easy, even a Republican can do it.

GOP attempts to deny 1898 apology
Yesterday the North Carolina House of Representatives, by a vote of 67-47, voted to acknowledge and apologize for the 1898 Wilmington Riot.
Every single GOP Representative, with one exception, voted against the apology for a shameful episode in North Carolina's history. While the North Carolina Republican Party has not given any reason for its opposition, their unity in doing so betrays a calculated effort. Either the GOP does not believe that General Assembly has any reason to apologize, or they are willing to let partisan politics take precedence over doing what is right. Regardless, the GOP elected to oppose Democratic Representatives working for a more inclusive North Carolina.
The House of Representatives follows the example of the North Carolina Democratic Party, which passed a resolution of apology unanimously and without debate in January.
