The North Carolina House convened at 12:05AM (Yes, MIDNIGHT!) to vote to override Governor Bev Perdue's veto of the worst budget proposal in NC history.
As a teacher and a parent in North Carolina, I am truly disheartened. I've said goodbye to friends who will not be working with me next year, despite a growing student body for the next few years. I do not know if my 2nd grader will have full use of his speech therapist. We are told that K-3 classes will not lose teacher assistants, but we'll see about that.
But you know what? All that is fine and dandy. 'Will of the people' and all, according to the TeaBaggers that have taken over the State house. (except the 'will of the people' is another TeaBag lie)
I hope the old white grumpy people who supported all these Baggers now know what they have done. These creeps don't even have the decency to vote on this during the daytime. They know that 75% of us are against what they are doing.
I'm pissed beyond words, but had to type something before going to bed. Tomorrow's my last day at school. I'll clean up my room, get some stuff together for next fall, and go on my 'vacation'. I'm assuming that the Teabaggers in Raleigh mow lawns, tend bars, and paint houses on their vacations just like I do, right??
