Press Release: Bill to Block Funds for OLF in Washington Co. Moves to House Floor

Price, Butterfield Worked to Include the Prohibition in the Bill

A key House committee today approved a bill that would block funding for the Navy's plan to locate an Outlying Landing Field (OLF) in Washington County, NC. The site has raised objections from the surrounding communities, environmentalists, sportsmen, and numerous state and local leaders.

Reps. David Price (NC-04) and G.K. Butterfield (NC-01) worked with their colleagues on the Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee to strip the funding. Price is a member of the full Appropriations Committee and a former member of the military construction subcommittee. The bill, which passed the full committee by a voice vote today, is slated to move to the House floor within two weeks.

NC-4: Done deal

I was going to write a longish entry about the uphill battle Steve Acuff is waging against my friend and neighbor David Price here in the 4th District. I was going to examine Acuff's so-called "grassroots" campaign and try to give the guy at least a little credit for something. But then I read this in the paper today.

Acuff describes himself as a "George Bush Republican."

What a moron. 'Nuff said.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
