Cooper is a piece of filth. This is not only a political issue, it is a eastern vs. western N.C. issue. Had the convention been scheduled for Raleigh, he would likely have allowed it. Those down east politicians love to stick it to the western part of the state. What a great opportunity for an economic boost, squandered by a pos Governor.
Whoa there, hoss. If by down east, you mean between, say, Greensboro and Raleigh, okay. But Down East, what is generally known as Eastern North Carolina, takes it in the shins every bit as much as the mountain folks. Only reason we have any decent highways is so the Raleigh crowd can get to their beach houses more quickly and easily. Frankly, I find that I'm not much of a fan of economic development anymore; just brings in more people (a lot of whom are Yankees) and overall quality of my life goes down.
But we agree on Boy Pooper being a joke of a governor. I'm sure he is hoping that the RNC will go to Charlotte anyway so he can sabotage the convention further once they get there.
