Bill Gibson, II says:

The Connect NC Bond is a way for Republicans to provide "pork barrel" projects to their constituents without having to be individually responsible. Everybody loves pork, Democrats or Republicans, and there are too many projects spread about for this bond not to pass. No new taxes, but couldn't there be a $2B tax decrease if the bond doesn't pass?

Just watched this show. 3 panels that were all in agreement that this bond referendum should pass. How is that at all objective? When Dems and Repubs agree on getting more of our money, alarms should sound inside your head.
