A looming $3 Billion Hole in North Carolina State Budget


The states were warned of this happening if they accepted the Obama stimulus money, but did the democrats listen! NO THEY DID NOT! Now North Carolina is one of many having a budget problem created by Obama’s stimulus money and the polices of the democrats. Did the North Carolina Democrats such as Dewey Hill listen to the warnings!  NO THEY DID NOT!  Now we’re 3 billion in the hole and we the taxpayers will be forced to pay higher taxes.

A looming $3 billion hole in the state budget could mean that temporary tax increases put in place last year won’t be so temporary after all.

State legislators haven’t said yet whether they will extend the taxes as they try to balance a budget without the benefit of federal stimulus money that is set to run out next year.

The current budget, which takes the state through June 30 of next year, relies on roughly $1.6 billion in one-time stimulus money, plus another $1 billion or so from temporary taxes put in place in 2009 and set to expire next year

Calls for cuts and a hard-line on tax increases will be part of the GOP mantra this election season. Republican legislators called for the state to overhaul its budget and prepare for next year repeatedly during the last legislative session. SOURCE

It’s time to send Dewey Hill packing for home and elect Tristan Patterson that will listen to the people and make decisions based on what’s best for we the people of North Carolina!

Whiteville, N.C. U.S.701, N.C. 130 project


Just a few things to keep in mind as you read about this project. Tristan Patterson is running against the incumbent and businessman Dewey Hill. Mr. Hill owns most of the land and businesses where this road project is being done. I don’t see any road work being done in the rest of the County and our roads are falling apart. This road project is benefiting Dewey Hill more than anyone else. Should it not be investigated?

Cox said the entire project is scheduled to be completed in late November or early December. Numerous delays involving weather, personnel, groundwater and other problems kept the project behind schedule for weeks.

“Our goal now is to have the connector between 701 business and the bypass open by late September,” he said. “If we can avoid any weather delays or the problems that have plagued this section, it might be met.”
The state is reviewing driveway permits along the new section of road, Cox said. Local officials hope the new intersection will not only improve traffic flow, but open up some portions of the area for new retail development.SOURCE

A young Tabor City Republican who is seeking election to a N.C. House seat held by a long-time incumbent and Lake Waccamaw businessman Dewey Hill is taking the chance on defeat before the November election. Tristan Patterson will step into the ring this weekend to take on the owner of the United Pro Wresting Association, Don Brower.
“I will stand up to Don Brower the same way I’ve been standing up for conservative values throughout Columbus County,” said Patterson ,who admits that he has never wrestled before. SOURCE
