Gov. Mike Easley s proposed budget doesn t call for a tax increase at least not in those words. Easley s use of that word is calculated to win support among legislators and the public. After all, a loophole is perceived to be a barely legal means by which clever people can dodge paying their fair share of taxes. I think a lot of people could be nominated for the Call It Courage award.
Many people stand up for what they believe in, help others and do much more.
I am writing in reference to the sports page in the March 12 paper that showed the picture of the race in Atlanta at the finish line. It makes Dale Earnhardt look like he s in the clouds, smiling like he s looking down at the race car he would have driven. I wasn t an Earnhardt fan, but I did not want the man to die in the horrible accident that took his life. Sunday has changed from going to church and visiting family or friends to just another shopping day.
