"because I am the governor."
I would love to have seen the reporter laugh at her and say "no, that answer isn't going to eliminate the tax. So let me rephrase: because I've never seen a 'temporary tax' actually ever end, are you putting a sunset guarantee into the legislation, and if so, what's the deadline?"
I loved her answer, it truly shows her for what she is, a state dictator. Also, you can ask her all the questions you want to, she will clearly indulge you with an answer when it suits her. She has been in this game a long time, conditioned by Easley. We are going after Shuler next.
