Transcript

g y lottery is a welcomed change from door-prize bingo. For the government of North Carolina, the revenue generated is expected to lessen the burden taxpayers must shoulder to provide the states children with a quality education. This past August, Governor Mike Easley signed the North Carolina State Lottery Act and the 2005 Appropriations Act, which allow the state to begin forming the North Carolina Education Lottery. A 9-member commission was formed in September, 2005, to supervise and initiate the lottery. Five commission members were appointed by Gov. Easley himself: Dr. Charles A. Sanders, chairman, Secretary Bryan E. Betty, Ms. Linda Carlisle, Mr. Robert A. Farris, Jr., and Mr. John R. McArthur. Other appointees to the commission include Mr. Kevin Geddings, Mr. Gordon Myers and Mr. Robert W. Appleton, CPA. The ninth member, Mr. Malachi J. Greene, resigned in October. The commission is currently searching for an executive director to manage day- by-day operations. The North Carolina Education Lottery is aptly titled. One hundred percent of the net profit from the lottery will go towards improving the quality of education that students in North Carolina receive. Five percent of the proceeds will go towards the Education Lottery Reserve Fund but only if lottery proceeds fall short of target goals. The reserve fund cannot exceed a $50 million total. Another 50 percent of the total proceeds will be directed towards reducing class sizes in early grades, with a goal of reaching 18 students per teacher. Some of these funds will also be directed towards pre-kindergarten programs for at-risk four-year-olds. Forty percent of the remaining proceeds will be for school construction, with 65 percent of those funds distributed based on school enrollment. The other 35 percent will be divided among counties where the average property tax rate is above state average. The best news for WCU students, though, is 10 percent of these funds will be used for college scholarships. Those students who qualify for a Pell Grant, but were unable to receive money because of lack of educational funds, may now receive that money. Of course, these grants can be used at any public or private college, along with any state university. For those students in need of money for education, the lottery is expected to generate $425 million in revenue in 2006-2007. California-b By Ryan Fussell + wer A new movement has started in the United States with the intention of changing South Carolina politics, making a utopian society for religious extremism. But its not the beliefs that make the group similar; its the literal movement. A desire for religious tolerance has driven a group of Christians to move in exodus to the northern portion of South Carolina, but the overall intention may be what surprises people. This group has a desire to live in a community of fellow believers and practitioners, but the means to creating this environment are rather unconventional. The Christian Exodus was founded by Cory Brunell in 2003 with the goal of finding a tolerant area of the US, migrating in mass exodus to this area, and with time, getting members of the movement elected to public positions where they can govern and set laws that are in accordance to the movemenits goals. The goal is to hav 2,500 members living in a concentrated area of northern South Carolina by September 2006 in order to vote in upcoming elections. Over time, more members move to the area are elected to office. Eventually, there are so many members in office that they hold a majority and establish laws conducive to the Exodus community. The laws desired by the Exodus arent all that radical to the movement members and many of the community, but a large controversy has spawned in the upstate to make sure that tolerance is exhibited and forced lifestyles 1) WCnewsmagazine s with any new government sponsored program, there are critics. Those who are concerned about corruption or the lottery being fixed need not worry. The lottery commission has adopted a code of ethics they must follow. The code covers everything from conflict of interest to gifts and entertainment. One of the more important guidelines adopted in the code involves the public. The commission members must conduct its business in conformance with the open meetings and public records laws of the state (North Carolina Education Lottery Code of Ethics). This is important for the average citizen, who may want to know where the money they are spending on tickets is going. Commission members are also prohibited from participating and/or paying any winnings to parents, children or significant others. For businesses interested in participating in the sale of lottery tickets, there are rules to follow. The retailer must be 21 years of age, but employees of the retailer under that age can be allowed to sell the tickets; the owner of the business must be 21. The business selling the tickets cannot be a business solely involved in operating devices for entertainment purposes, along with the display of a current, signed certificate indicating they have the right to sell the tickets. Other provisions include a restriction for commission members of gifts over $100. Retailers participating in the sale of tickets cannot live in the same household as a commission member. These are but a few of the rules they must follow to be a part of the new lottery. Any critic should read the code of ethics adopted by the lottery commission; the code should put their mind at ease. The benefits of North Carolinas Education lottery will be far reaching. By providing a 100 percent return on net profits, educational programs in the state will benefit enormously. New students and returning students, who wonder how they may pay for college, may not have to worry much longer. Critics who discount the program should be sated by the code of ethics, and judging by the success of other state lottery programs, North Carolinas schools and secondary educational programs stand to grow along with the program. The lottery will be | a welcomed addition to the state. are prevented. This is because the Exodus is ultra-conservative in nature and wants to see its religious followings become the way of life. Public display of the Ten Commandments, prayer in school, and a number of platforms on abortion, homosexuality and social structure are on the list of changes that the movement plans to try and make firm ideals in its area. The question still remains about how effective the Christian Exodus has been thus far, and how far are they from obtaining their goals? The answer to that is very simple: they're nowhere near it. All in all, six families have completed the journey thus far, a far cry from the 2,500 they need in the next 10 months. The fuss about the movement is pretty much nothing, but the intention is what has many South Carolinians worried about the situation. Even Christian Exodus movement leader and founder Cory Brunell couldn't be further from helping the cause at this point. He hasnt completed the exodus yet and doesnt have intentions of doing so until about 2007. Brunell currently resides in California and does most of his contact work through the movement's website, and his featured blog. The website, ChristianExodus.com, offers all the guidelines and mission goals that the exodus is based upon; it also offers information for those looking to join the movement.
