The typical BlueNC post on corporate incentives is a rant against the practice of offering massive incentive packages to companies to stay in or locate in North Carolina - deals that ultimately won't impact employment figures or bring in tax revenues at a rate that makes sense. I think I've found an incentive package that makes sense and I've been working hard to find something wrong with it.

Does that mean Chelsea will be hitting the gay bars in Charlotte? That would be kinda cool.

Tomorrow, 4/4, President Bill Clinton will be attending a Rally hosted by the College Democrats at UNC Charlotte.

As an alumni and former UNCCCD member I am excited to see a former President visit our campus. Too often Democrats forget about our City and our University, Clinton's visit is the first for someone with the stature of a former President.

Charlotte 4 Hillary will hold a brief meeting after the office opening party in Charlotte on Thursday.

Feel free to participate, and feel free to offer your thoughts and ideas for delivering Mecklenburg County and North Carolina to Hillary. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

According to the Charlotte Observer, a group of ostensible environmentalists will hold an expensive fundraiser for Barack Obama in their posh home in the Myers Park neighborhood of Charlotte. I quote:

The invitation-only fundraisers will be at the Bonwood Drive home of environmental activists Bob Perkowitz and Lisa Renstrom. A "general reception" costs $1,000 a person. A "host reception" costs $2,300.

Perhaps these ostensible environmentalists should research Obama's record on the environment before raising money for his campaign. Exelon, a nuclear energy giant in Illinois, is Obama's sixth largest donor. In fact, Exelon employees have donated over $269,100 to his federal campaigns and over $194,750 in 2008.

We will be holding a gathering of volunteers and HRC supporters in the Charlotte area. This is a chance to get to know fellow supporters and find out what you can do to help the campaign in the coming weeks. Please join us for fun, food and information!!!

The first Huddle for Hillary on 10 March in south Charlotte was a success.

Future events such as fundraisers, phone banks, GOTV efforts, debate parties and future meetings will be planned and discussed. Please arrive with friends and suggestions.
