Les Merritt Retirement Cake

Democrats are generous.

That’s why we thought it was important to send a cake to Republican State Auditor Les Merritt wishing him well on the retirement of his side gig as a personal financial advisor.

We delivered a retirement cake at approximately noon today, along with your retirement wishes. A photo of it is attached.

The cake serves as a reminder of Mr. Merritt’s promise that on June 30 he would stop providing investment advice to private clients.

Continental Tire's Attack on Retirees

Submitted by SteelworkerSoli... on Tue, 04/24/2007 - 3:25pm.

In March of 2006, Continental Tire of North America carried through its plans to slash its payments for health care benefits for its retirees. For months, the company had been threatening to impose a $3,000 cap on payments for retiree health care. With the annual cost of family health care coverage costing retirees as much as $15,000, the implementation of this cap could be financially devastating.

2 billion dollars for Wind Power...so that we can burn domestic natural gas in our cars...I think.

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."
