Overhauling the NCHSAA

"Woke" is, or at least includes, the inability to define "woman", which we have seen a supreme court justice decline to do in a nomination hearing. The left embraces a "blank slate" view of humanity and sometimes seeks to redefine the world to suit its purposes. This may very well happen the other way around and I wouldn't quibble with anyone who wants to provide examples, but let's not pretend that there isn't a movement in this direction.
As to the NCHSAA we see that they have an endowment fund of somewhere in the range of $40 million (or more). There are 432 member schools, so that means the fund totals about $92,000 per school. It is supposed to be a "rainy day" fund but by their own admission they paid out $1.7 million to the schools in 2020-21, which is less than 5% of the fund.
Except for the three parochial schools and some events played at private colleges all of this money was raised by competitions between public schools or at public facilities. The legislature seems to have decided that there needs to be some sort of oversight for this process. This doesn't seem much like "tyranny" to me.

This. I’m glad you posted this. Without getting too deep in to the details I’m privy to the majority of the backroom negotiations that occur with the budget, and the policies that end up in the budget. The negotiations over this budget have been a circus for the last two months. This particular language is very worrisome, along with language that gives the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations the ability to investigate government agencies and private companies that get state funding, and to force anyone involved in the investigation to keep it a secret. I hope that people are beginning to pay more attention to what is happening with the legislature.Add to that making it harder for the public to know what they are doing up there in addition to giving total power to some committee called GovOps that apparently can investigate anyone, anytime, anywhere.
The change would grant immense new powers to a state oversight committee, authorizing it to investigate state and local governments as well as private companies and charities. People who the committee feels haven't been fully cooperative could be charged with a crime. And anyone under investigation would face strict confidentiality rules — unable to talk to their coworkers, the media or anyone else about the legislature's actions, critics say.
NC lawmakers include open records rule changes in state budget bill
A small but significant change was slipped into the state's 625-page state budget bill. It would let state lawmakers decide what records go public and what they can destroy.www.wral.com
Well actually I appreciate that we can have a growup conversation about this stuff and just agree to disagree on issues but while I have a friend at church we've known each other all our lives and we disagree on political stuff but still friends but his brother blocked me on Facebook over it.
Sorry said I was done didn't I lol
Absolutely no need to apologize. I also enjoy reading the back and forth and happy to see people can engage in civilized discussion on topics like this.
I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
Republicans did cut handouts but got jobs going which helps the poor. The Democrats encourage being poor and fatherless homes.
So I think you are not entirely right in your thinking.
The Trump tax cuts helped this uneducated college male that works 50 hours a week. Had to pay taxes last year under Biden since the Trump tax cuts ended.
Well let's put it this way historical. Reagan started supply side or trickle down economics. The Idea that if you lower rich people's and corporate taxes that the analogy that an economics teacher I had gave with Reagan first brought up the idea was that the rich person would take the tax savings and buy a yacht and the yacht maker and his employees make money with the rich guys crumbs. And with corporations they would take it and hire more employees and invest in other companies or endeavors that create jobs. Thing is while there was a modest increase at the beginning the problem ended up being that the rich can already afford a yacht and the companies if there going to invest in something they're going to anyway If they think it's profitable and then they're nor going to hire more people out of the goodness of hearts because they got tax break in fact a lot of it ended up overseas or going to their stockholders.
And the deficit ballooned percentage-wise more than any president of the United States at that time still one of the highest percentage wise.
Then Clinton went the other way increase the rich and corporate tax and lowered taxes for middle and lower middle income an analogy of that was a shoe factory they get a tax cut but they don't hire anyone extra because they're not selling anymore shoes but now you have a everyday people buying shoes with their tax savings and the company is selling more shoes so they have to hire more people. Plus more review is coming into the coffers and the deficit decreases. One thing for sure you give everyday people the big tax cut you know it's got back into the economy.
So Clinton's administration created 2 million more jobs than Reagan plus in the last four years not only a balance budget but two with surpluses. According to the CBO at that time whoever came in next didn't mess with it that the trend we have continued so then came in Bush again with trickle down plus this time not coming out of a recession like with Reagan even other Republicans at the time said it wasn't the right economy to go back to it but still he did and we know what happened next.
And bty here's another fact..
The Democratic presidents were in office for a total of 429 months, with 164,000 jobs per month added on average, while the Republicans were in office for 475 months, with a 61,000 jobs added per month average. And budget deficits have been smaller under Democrats, at 2.1% potential GDP versus 2.8% potential GDP for Republicans.

I had to pay for the first time ever this past year on what is usually a return for me
Guys if you want to talk about what happened with the bill then it’s fine.
I’ve been lenient on the politics talk since it does involve it, but leave national stuff out! This is a state issue!
Thank you!

Remember we're still under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) brackets. My point is that you might not have gotten some but under it the more you make the more the percentage of your savings goes up plus the corporate tax rate went from 35% to 21%. The act remains until 2025.
Different reason your taxes can change from year to year some peoples simply because the child tax credit because of the pandemic rose to over $3k but dropped back to $2k lots of reasons it can change.
That was last word Deana sorry, delete this if you want.
I'm against the NC House Bill hopefully it will die in Senate.
It's all about POWER on both sides.
If you had half a brain you would know that unfortunately NONE of ORANGE Criminal Man's tax cuts ended in the past year and will not in this tax year. My company does just over 9000 tax returns. I think I would know.
That’s wrong. There were some tax breaks that ended in 2022
Why do conservatives alway bring their “black friends” up when taking about race and politics lol.
if you knew anything at all about political idealogy, you would know it’s true. I’ve stopped trying to convince orange man supporters because I’ve realized they are the dumbest people in the country.
If you were as smart as you think you would have read where I said I preferred someone else other than Trump but I would take him over anything the Dems have to offer. Also the only reason I mentioned my black friends is because all you dems try to throw race out when a Republican speaks. Truth is there is way more racism in the Democratic Party than Republican.
