Hmmm,I suppose the $230,000 Gov. Pat McCrory used to remodel the mansion bathrooms had to come from somewhere, huh ?

RALEIGH, N.C.
— U.S. Rep. David Price says he has gotten no response from Gov. Pat
McCrory on why North Carolina was the only state to announce it would
end aid to low-income families, pregnant women and infants during the
recent federal government shut down.
The Democrat from Chapel Hill said at a luncheon in Raleigh on Friday that the state's Republican administration appeared too eager to cut off help to poor families during the crisis.
Price suggested that North Carolina being alone among the 50 states in announcing it would end federal welfare-to-work assistance and food aid is a sign there is something "really wrong" with McCrory's administration. He and two other Democratic congressmen from North Carolina, Rep. Mel Watt of Charlotte and Rep. G.K. Butterfield of Wilson, sent an Oct. 15 letter questioning the decisions and asking McCrory to reverse course.
"I think it is a very troubling episode," Price said, speaking to a group of reporters. "Seems like they were almost too eager to cut off these benefits. That's the way it looked. If we were one out of 20 or 30 states, that would be different. But when you are one out of 50, that's pretty surely a sign of being an outlier."
