What a shame the General Assembly continues to cut education budget. Why would they continue to cut off the hands off of the future generation that will be taking care of them in their old age? Knowledge is power.
BRAVO GOVERNOR PERDUE! As a 10 year volunteer educational advocate on the local, district, state and national level I have made many visits to communities, schools and families. We are losing our children every day to gangs and drop outs. I pray the General Assembly pay heed to your wisdom. You've definitely done your homework not only in research but in person visiting schools all over this state. ALL CHILDREN deserve equal opportunity! You make me proud to be an advocate. ROCK ON!
She is a horrible person. Why does her chef get paid $75,000/year if she's so concerned about funding "education"? Didn't she and the crook before her promise the lottery would fix everything?
We the people are tired of hearing how if we only give a "little more" everything will be golden. Times are hard and we all make sacrifices. I cut my grocery budget to pay the electric bill. I don't eat out so my kids get lunch money. Imagine if I ran to my employer and told them they had to give me just a little more each week. It is time for Raleigh and Washington to learn from We the People. We send you to office to do a job. Do your job or step aside. Stop the guilt tripping.
A tax is never temporary to the democracks! Instead of raising taxes why don't we cut costs? Its strange how a private school or a charter school has better results with less cost per child. Maybe we can take a look at their techniques.
"O" really Bev ??? ...when you want people to pay always say it is about Children ....get the illegals and Muslims off the tax payers payroll ....Stop your travel Bev and NO parties at the Governor's Mansion .....then why did you spend the lottery money Bev ??? it was for the kids !...just tell me what you really want that money for ?
One has to wonder about the education of people who only know how to express their opinions through personal attacks and name-calling. Regardless of your opinion on this (or any other) issue it would be more productive, to say nothing of more polite, to address the issues with evidence and data rather than ad hominem attacks. I'm an independent, a public education skeptic, I own a private e-Learning biz, but honestly, the tenor of this "discussion" is enough to drive me left!
The Republicans allowed the tempory tax to expire. You want a new "tempory" tax that will never go away. You are lying to us right now, as all politicians do. This tax, under you and the Democrats, will always be renewed.
another democrat raising taxes and begging us to "do it for the children". Madame Governor, we're all tired of that worn out guilt trip. We know its a ploy for you to use to expand your agenda. If you were really worried about education you would have cut some of your special interest projects and spent the money on education. You didn't.
In a free society the occupants have the right to choose where their children are educated. We have gone long enough operating under this broken system of education. We can no longer trust the business and political leaders of our nation to this great responsibility. Release the funds to the citizens and allow the free market to work as it was originally designed to do so. When will we learn, to fight for power only denies the soul of life.
Thats why this state is going to hell, a dumb ass stroke victim is the governor. The bitch looks like the female joker, trying to charge for a free website another stupid idea by this bitch.
All this is, is a campaign video. The reason that there isn't any money for education is because she is using the "education" lottery as her personal spending account. Get rid of the joker!!!! She needs to get out of our pockets and into her own.
In March you sumbit your budget and in November the voters submit their votes and in January we submit your pink slips. I cannot wait till you are gone. I will vote for Pat McCroey anyday over you ....
Thank you Bev Perdue! You've stood up to the repugnican state assembly since they took complete control. You have low approval ratings, and it appears your days are numbered, but I want to express appreciation for your sincere efforts to keep North Carolina on the right track. I don't know why NC hasn't gotten it's act together like Wisconsin and Ohio and fought off the relentless attacks from the assembly that will only lead NC backwards and not forwards. Brava, Governor Perdue!
"The general assembly has needlessly made drastic cuts that will permanently affect our children, and actually I believe the future of this great state," Perdue said. "They did it to eliminate one thin cent, one copper penny from the state's sales tax." What BS!!! Any time she doesn't get every single dime she wants, she blames the opposition. Enough with the BS Bev. The kids would have lost no more this year with this than they did last year when you robbed the NC Education (gag) Lottery.
Our schools are the first to get money cut from them and the last to receive any. If you started to put some Republican names out there so people would know who the culprits are then maybe shame will change their minds. This is why I am a Liberal. I vote for the best person to do the job not a one sided political party. Governor Purdue I would go for the whole penny and not settle just for a share of it. God Bless America and long live the Republic.
Education is really important and is something we cannot and should not cut short. So, for this I support..
That being said, the NC State Lottery, which I don't personally agree with, had NC Education lottery written all over it, and my understanding was it was to cough up the funds so Education funding wouldn't be a problem... Not to get off topic of the sales tax, but doesn't this mean the Lottery has failed in its mission?

She has made the wisest decision of all today. She isn't seeking re-election. Thank you so much.

Education has a Lottery. If North Carolina rates low in Education,deal with it. Law enforcement ,Mental Heath is far more important now.

@capman911 - If education is so important to her, why'd she rob the NC Education (cough cough) Lottery in 2011 to balance the budget elsewhere?
