Chairman's
Remarks |
|
|
The
2008
election
seems
to
be
the
perfect
time
to
bring
back
the
Wake
GOP
Newsletter.
We
hope
this
tool
will
empower
you,
the
foundation
of
our
party,
to
elect
conservative,
principled
men
and
women
to
public
office.
Prior
to
becoming
your
chairman,
I
was
a
precinct
chair,
a
district
chair,
a
fundraising
chair,
and
a
volunteer
on
numerous
campaigns.
I
understand
that
you
need
up-to-date
campaign
event
and
candidate
information
–
voters
are
looking
to
you
for
advice
and
guidance.
Thus,
this
newsletter. |

I am
grateful
to
the
officers
and
editorial
staff
of
this
publication.
Like
everyone
else
in a
leadership
role
in
the
Wake
GOP,
they
are
volunteers.
And,
their
efforts
are
much
appreciated.
This
will
be
an
exciting
campaign
season.
There
is
either
a
Republican
incumbent
or a
Republican
challenger
in
all
but
one
of
the
partisan
ballot
races
this
fall.
And,
this
is
among
the
hardest-working
group
of
candidates
I
have
ever
seen.
Our
Republican
Party
platform
has
answers
to
the
pressing
issues
of
this
election
season
–
and
I am
confident
that
we
will
have
much
electoral
success
in
November.
We
hope
you’ll
join
this
noble
cause
with
your
time,
talents
and
financial
support.
Together,
we
are
a
winning
team.
And,
of
course,
I do
not
have
to
remind
you
of
the
monumental
significance
of
this
election,
at
every
level
of
government.
These
next
few
months
you
and
I
will
have
an
opportunity
to
shape
the
future
for
our
children
and
their
children.
Thank
you
in
advance
for
stepping
up
to
the
plate
to
help
our
Republican
team
this
year.
David
Robinson,
Chairman,
Wake

A critical
review of Gov.
Easley's 2009
budget proposal. |
|
|
x |
|
|
|
North Carolina
is one of only
four states in
the Union to
still impose a
tax on those
state residents
for giving
assets during
their lifetimes
to their family
members.
Reasoned
lawmakers see
the damage the
tax does to NC
residents and
the general
revenue of the
State.
Democrats argue
a repeal of this
tax will help
only the
wealthy. One
Wake County
lawyer weighs in
on the issue. |

Easley Trip to Italy
Costs Taxpayers $170,000 |
|
NC taxpayers
spent over
$170,000 to send
Governor Easley,
his wife and
twelve others to
Italy for nine
days. Governor
and "Lady"
Easley spent
$51,000 on a
chauffeured
Mercedes
limousine. Jim
Fain, secretary
of the
Department of
Commerce, called
the trip "a
success." |
