Being asked about a $6 Billion bond for local school building......Patrick - I am going to have to look at that but know what I won't do - I won't take money from local communities, from the State Teachers' retirement fund, to do this.....

That "Across the board" three percent cut the Governor says Patrick and "Leo" presented in the "Donnie and Marie kind of thing," was a joint response to Easley's only address to the sate, during the longest General Assembly session in NC history, in 2001.

Leo and atrick responded on statewide V together, and were in close contact about their speech until the taping.

Leo pulled the across the board cut idea out of nowhere, in the studio blindsiding him with an idea, as he said, would have meant cutting fund for local governments.

It was Leo Daughtry's idea, not his, and Easley knew that.

P>You'll love this. That $6 Billion public school needs figure includes reconstruction of every school over 20 years old.
