Orr Is A Break from the Status Quo
RALEIGH – If elected governor, Bob Orr says he would dump the state’s major job-creation programs, seek constitutional changes to bolster his authority and threaten to sue the United States over immigration.
The policy plans churned out by Orr’s campaign may be the most sweeping, and are certainly the most detailed, among the candidates for the state’s top job.
That’s a great agenda to get the ball rolling. Raleigh has to end the practice of handing out millions in corporate welfare acting as bribes to keep workers in the state. If North Carolina has a business friendly climate the free market will bring industry here. Regarding illegal immigration, I’m not sure if the state can actually sue the Feds or not over this, but I say give it a shot. The more pressure put on Washington over this issue the quicker they will be forced to act.
