Eckerd Drug Stores said Wednesday it will no longer accept the state prescription plan after July 1 if the plan does not begin paying higher rates. Last week, CVS drugs said it would do the same.

Excellent!
Man, I am sick of government parasites getting more benefits than regular productive citizens.

Harry Payne, chairman of the Employment Security Commission, said state employees should not be treated as "bureaucrats."
"We are not a bureaucracy," said Payne, who served formerly as state labor commissioner."We are not waste. We are not fat. We are people who donate out hearts, minds and souls to doing what is asked of us."

LOL!!!
This guy sounds like he is trying to convince himself, hahahaha...!

Strickland is a single mother of two daughters.....
A rocket scientist here....

Strickland said she sometimes has to choose between buying prescriptions for herself and her daughters over other expenses, such as groceries.
Haha... Yeah, sure. Strickland is a liar.

"It's so much to figure out how we're going to make it," Strickland said. "It's not just about survival. We want to live."
Huh....? Like I said, a rocket scientist...

Gee, all those people that got layed off at Cisco and Nortel should try this. I doubt any state or fed employee has been layed off in the last 50 years.

Take names and fire them all! Tax Suckin' Leeches!

That cite was going to be used for a celebration after the Hurricanes beat my beloved Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Final. State employees decided to rally because the space was available and they can always find something to gripe about.

Wonder how many of the protesters were on the clock. Wonder how many Carolina citizens had to wait in line a little longer until their bureaucrats were late getting back from lunch.

This is the beginning of the end for the Democreep Party here in North Carolina.

State employees, not surprisingly, have been - along with teachers - the main constituency for tax-and-spend policies in this state. In a state with few workers unionized in the private sector, the NEA affiliate - and the state employees association - are the only "organized labor" with a cadre organization in every county.

Worst of all for the liberals in Raleigh, the state employees angrily chanted "Vote them out!" today - and openly referred to the governor mainly using the state chopper to ride back and forth to his home at the beach, and the high raises to state-university bureaucrats while the state supposedly is in so much of a budget crunch that state workers get no raises.
