Movin’ On Up

Ricky Diaz’s work here is done. Clearly it is time for him to work his magic for Republicans all across America.
 
He gave North Carolina a year’s worth of scandals, stumbles and PR disasters. Starting with his hiring: a 24-year-old getting a DHHS job paying $85,000 a year, while teachers and state employees got no raise. That’s the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats. They can bash McCrory with it all the way through 2016.
 
Then there is the host of DHHS horrors. First, the not-so-fast NC FAST and the off-track NC TRACKS. Then 2013 ended with the Medicaid card mailing fiasco, which Diaz tried to downplay, angering the media.
 
Now there’s the food stamp disaster. And nearly 500,000 North Carolinians will always owe Diaz for making sure they don’t get decent health care.
 
All of these, of course, are the fault of Bev Perdue, Obamacare and Benghazi.
 
Secretary Wos gave Diaz a “well done, good and faithful servant” farewell. But Governor McCrory might be thinking: “Thanks a lot, pal. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
