Earlier this week, Erin Hartness from WRAL-TV called me. She wanted to come by my office to film a brief interview for a story she was putting together regarding the raises that the Durham County Commissioners recently gave to County Manager Mike Ruffin among others. One of the most important things that I said didn’t end up in her story. I wish it had because every American needs to completely comprehend this concept.
