Thomas, you should send a copy of this article to Anderson Clayton immediately and also Gov Cooper and the Democratic legislative leaders. Delay in getting their ballots might anger some of our servicemen and women, especially those overseas. As for the opportunity scholarships there's a saying attributed to Punkett of Tammany Hall" "I seen my opportunities and I took 'em. " My friend outgoing NC Sen Mike Woodard of Durham told me GOP legislative leaders were getting negative feedback from some of their supporters over the opportunity scholarship impasse. As for the lack of funding for public schools, a comment attributed to Lyndon Johnson by the late Bill Moyers, his press secretary when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed comes to mind :"There goes the South." As the late Jessie Jeremiah Jubilation Day Helms might say if he were still alive "you ain't just whistling Dixie." (Yes, Thomas, I do remember Chubb Sewell from those WRAL commentaries).
