The Voters’ View
February 23, 2011 - by
A focus group this week brought into clear focus the opportunities and challenges facing North Carolina Democrats and Republicans.
A couple of participants said they’re feeling more optimistic about the direction of the state. Why?
“For the first time in a hundred years, we have a legislature that understands where the revenue comes from,” said one.
Heads nodded.
A few minutes later, asked what North Carolina
Republicans can capitalize on the voters’ desire for spending sanity. But will there be a blowback on hurting education?
The opposite is true for Democrats: Can they seize the opportunity on education and regain voters’ trust on spending?
