N.C. lottery wins final approval

[NFS4]

Took long enough, but we finally got one 😉

Lawmakers approved a lottery by the narrowest of margins Tuesday, making North Carolina the last state on the east coast to adopt a numbers game.

Senators passed a lottery 25-24 with Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue breaking the tie.

It passed after Republican leaders questioned whether the bill was constitutional. They also made several procedural challenges, such as trying to delay the vote until next year.

House members, led by Speaker Jim Black, D-Mecklenburg, passed it earlier this year 61-59. Gov. Mike Easley, a Democrat who campaigned on the lottery, is sure to sign it.

Damnit, this sucks for SC. Do you know how many people close to the state line drive over here to give us their money? 😀

 

[NFS4]

Ahh, the bible thumpers must be PISSED 😀

It was passed because 2 people didn't vote, or something like that.

Anyway I'm glad it finally passed, took long enough.

Two people were on approved vacation. I smell C-O-N spiracy. But I don't give a sh!t 😀

Maybe. They actually interviewed one of them tonight. He said he didn't vote because it would be against what he stood for, and that was education.
