Bits and Pieces Bait and Switch Some People Never Learn Tipped Off ...
Passage of the state lottery bill in 2005 took more than shady dealings by former House Speaker Jim Black. It also took some traditional political horse-trading in the General Assembly. Black collected votes by spreading out the lottery proceeds to several education programs. During his many years as a district attorney and attorney general, Gov. Mike Easley no doubt prosecuted someone for "bait and switch." Now he's trying to pull the trick himself. He's proposing to take prize money away from college scholarships and new school construction and put it, instead, into his early childhood education program. As for legislators who might feel that they got swindled by voting for the lottery so there'd be more scholarship money for the poor, well, they just have to figure they got bluffed out of their vote.
