100% agree. But unfortunately, the silly "culture war" issues often rule the day and are #1 in the mind of many voters. Then, these same folks complain and moan the private/charter schools and what they are up to.Been saying this for years but the folks that keep electing these folks just laugh while ignoring the power grabs they keep playing like coming into session to override a veto which gave private schools millions of dollars. In the same session they've passed a bill to take power away from the Governor. This was tucked into a measley disaster relief bill. Folks need to stop worrying so much about national politics and get invested in state and local. Raleigh is a crap show right now.
