Oil Drilling

The NC legislature may pay for a study on oil drilling off the coast of North Carolina. The republicans are all in a snit, because they think the democrats are just going to pay some ivory tower egg heads to say what they want. On the one hand, if the legislature can't say no to the federal government, then maybe it's a waste of money. On the other hand, if something interesting comes up, it seems like the governor's office could use that negotiate -- either way -- for the North Carolina residents.

Maybe the legislature will want to fund some investigations about bullying. I'm here for that! And I can do it for less than $100,000!!
