Rep. Brawley is supposed to call me when he gets back in his office from the hearing. I will have to commend him for offering the gas money. I hope that's a sign that he's empathetic to our plight.

Tillis isn't even considering a "clean bill." Tillis says he's waiting for Perdue to propose a compromise.

He's obviously not able to make a budget compromise with the Governor without holding people hostage in the process. Leaning toward criminal to me...

So for this week does not look any progress in Eb? How long we will be stress? No job, no money, no gas, we will lose everything in a few days more. Nobody cares about those who do not have work or even state government itself. I keep praying the Lord to open the way for a solution for the 37,000 unemployed workers.
