The bail agents in this State are a sore on the arm of the NC consumer. False motions, drug dealing and other crimes seem to be the norm as a qualification for the highly unregulated group.

The bail agents in this State are a sore on the arm of the NC consumer.

False motions, drug dealing and other crimes seem to be the norm as a qualification for the highly unregulated group.

Many legislators in Raleigh are business owners, entrepreneurs, or have careers that allow them the flexibility to meet the demands of being a state legislator while still engaging in their private sector profession. In Burr's case he is a partial owner of a bail bonds agency and a licensed realtor, so it would appear he does not have the time constraints preventing him from being effective in Raleigh as your typical "nine to fiver" would. I agree with you on your point, though. Most people who are not independently wealthy or have a standard career would not be able to serve as a state legislator, neither here in North Carolina or most other states.

We need an experienced representative who know how to make the needed changes for government. How can a young person go to Raleigh for $13,956 a year plus the per diem. How can someone young serve? How can some go to Raleigh without being independedly wealthy or retired? I am interested in your response. We need a representative who will work to bring progress to the East.
