Democracy North Carolina weighs in on the controversial proposal to build special jetties or “terminal groins” near coastal inlets: Our media release today documents the millions of campaign dollars given by vacation homeowners advocating for the groins, and we caution legislators, especially those who say they’re against pay-to-play politics, please evaluate this legislation based on its own merits, not the glitter of campaign money. A joint op-ed column by right-winger John Hood of the John Locke Foundation and environmentalist Todd Miller of the NC Coastal Federation raises real concerns that the legislation is a taxpayer bailout of private landowners and amounts to throwing piles money into the ocean.

What a great novel! This chapter, where a state that can’t afford to educate its children talks about spending millions to dump tons of beach sand into the ocean, is the one where obscenity and insanity meet and fall in love.
Amen, Mr. Briere. Amen!
