Here is an interesting article. Or, since I am new to the state and to this forum, maybe I am the last to know this?

That's news to me. I wonder if he has a huge shop in the Governor's Mansion in downtown Raleigh
Maybe we should lobby for tax breaks on woodworking equipment and lumber

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Maybe the members that are from the Raleigh area can stop by and tour his shop. He might want in on one of the wood runs?

Maybe Papa Smurf should send him a personal invitation to join North Carolina Woodworker.

Or, it might have more impact if every North Carolina Woodworker sent him an e-mail invitation to join.

You know he will have a lot of free time after next year.

I read about it last year, supposedly he's at least third generation. And they were supposed to be makers of furniture that has, and still is used by members of his family.

Sometimes you just don't know a man until he comes out of the closet.

Well, I took my own suggestion. I just e-mailed the Governor's office (through the NC State Web Portal) and invited him to stop by. Wonder if he will ever even hear of the e-mail?

Everybody send one and they can't ignore showing him at least one.

And then you can say: "yeah, I got to see him right before he was sentenced"-whoops!, that was Jim Black. Sorry, getting ahead of myself.

If he was a member of this website, there would probably be some use tax audits of the members.
