There are two very disturbing things about the North Carolina Bond Issue. It is not the roads and bridges bond it was popularized as–there is very little roads and bridges money in it. The bond also borrows money in advance in case we need it in the future. Why would we pay interest to borrow money before we actually need it? That’s like taking a mortgage out now and making payments on the mortgage because you may want to buy a house next year. It is not fiscally responsible.

Unless we begin to hold our legislators accountable for their spending, they will never cut their spending. If you live in North Carolina and want to see that state grow and attract businesses in the future, you will vote against this bond.
