Yesterday, State Senator Thom Goolsby actually suggested to WECT reporter Ann McAdams that NC is wasting billions on public education, and asked hypothetically, "Where did all the money go?" Read the WECT story here: http://www.wect.com/story/19265770/goolsby-money-set-aside-for-education...

His comments would be laughable if this wasn't such a serious accusation. Today's Fitzsimon File lays out why Goolsby's line of thinking is dangerous, not just for our school children, but also in how traditional media covers a campaign. I couldn't agree more on Fitzsimon's conclusion, EXCEPT that Goolsby IS being challenged this fall, and by a worthy opponent, local attorney, Deb Butler.

As a practicing political consultant, it’s my job to make sure my candidate is the one in the limelight. It’s a standing professional practice of mine to keep my opinions about issues to myself, and to make sure that my candidate’s name is more recognized than mine.

It’s tough to get me to come out of the shadows to do something as public as posting a blog, but I’ve been convinced by some seasoned bloggers to leave my comfort zone and give a brief personal introduction to the online community in order to help my candidate’s cause.

This is my first time. Please be gentle.
