Dear State Senator
North Carolina has fallen behind in making the necessary capital investments in schools, transportation, water and sewer systems, and basic housing, as well as protecting farms, forests and natural areas. That failure to invest in the future is having a profound negative impact on North Carolina businesses and families.
North Carolina can’t build equity in homes, or expand and recruit business and jobs, with inadequate water and sewer services, poorly maintained roads, overcrowded schools and an unhealthy environment. With proper investments, North Carolina can build a strong economy and maintain a good quality of life. Please support local revenue options for North Carolina's local goverments such as the proposed Land Transfer Tax or Sales Tax, subject to a vote of the people.
Please write or call your State Senator and please ask your State Representative to hold firm in State Budget negotiations for local government revenue options. For more information check out the Partnership For North Carolina's Future
And if you still haven't seen them, check out our earlier videos:
Support Transfer Tax | Local Options
Note: my text above is a paraphrase of text prepared by the Partnership for North Carolina's Future. I've written so much on this and been so busy I'm a little tired for original wordsmithing tonight. The video is original, 100% Flynn family. Enjoy and take action.

Have the agents started lining up?
Miss Flynn is stealing the show, you know.
My favorite line is from the last video. "I need a road!" Any parent who has watched their child try to push the cozy coupe across grass or gravel knows that they need a road! :)

Agent
Her agent is Jack Bauer. He does everything himself and he's available on a 24 hour basis.
Our neighborhood parks become junkyards of abandoned coupes because those front wheels always go bad. If it's broken and you can't sell it at a yard sale or give it away take it to the playground. I think kids may have more fun with broken toys because they use more imagination and ask interesting questions.

Jack is tougher than you can imagine.
Rumor has it that a certain burger clown had information about terrorists.....

Toooo funny
I can't tell you how many times I wanted to do that to that clown.

on a serious note
On playgrounds - the more natural and green they can be the better! And kids can have more fun with boxes and broken toys (without sharp edges, of course) than anyone can imagine.
Are you the same Greg Flynn I saw on a report about Outdoor Learning Environments I picked up at the Smart Start conference?
OLE
That's me.
Very Cool.
Thanks for the work on that.
Got a reply
from Sen Bob Atwater - I had asked him to accept the House positions on these key issues in the budget negotiations since the Senate budget was a GOP budget:
"Thank you, Todd. I will do my best and I well agree with your
assessment."
Glad he is on board.
