I would anticipate tax increases over the next year or so with much going back to the schools.

I know this isn't the political forum, but I need to correct an assumption you have. THIS governor took money that was collected for the public schools and used it for other things, and now she is bellyacheing about needing money for the schools. She is the problem not the solution. I don't call that pro education. As a matter of fact, we have two sources of tax income that were created to go to the schools in North Carolina, food tax and the lottery, and both are now being used for other things. Most people in North Carolina are pro education, but the government is crooked and short changes our students. I don't think we are going to be listening to them anymore. No more taxes!
