    It is news becasue Jim Morrill wants to do all he can to tear down our new Governor. He is of the wrong party for this reporter. On the other hand the Governor doesn't really need Charlotte--demograpics no longer put this city in his favor. Probably does the Governor more benefit to go against Charlotte than to favor it. So, CO write all the trash you chose, it really doesn't matter.

    No, Anon 2:07. It's news because our elected officials might not represent constituents, but instead other interests who hire lobbyists to influence their friends in government. This sounds like a corrupt system to me—doesn't it to you?
