If I Were Governor of North Carolina...

Lottery, crime, insurance and trash

The people of North Carolina would vote on whether or not we have a lottery. Right now, the burden is on landowners who pay more and more property taxes. If the state can sell liquor, it can sell lottery tickets.

Punishment for drug use and breaking and entering would be much more severe. Pawnshops would have to require proof of ownership before accepting an item.

I would bring down the cost of auto insurance, and have severe punishment for fraudulent insurance claims.

Cities and towns could not annex more property without written consent of every resident affected.

Beside each trash dumpster site, the state would have a building to hold unwanted items that are still of value. These items would be free to anyone who wants them. After a month, if no one wants it, it is thrown into the dumpster.
