I think the number of school systems across the state is down to 105 or 106, and the NCGA is leaning on one of the big remaining city systems (Asheville City Schools) to consolidate with Buncombe County.

Another I know a little about is in my home county -Davidson- where Lexington City Schools are holding our for fear of diluting minority presence. The city schools are majority minority both in student population and school board membership, and they fear that if they merge the minority students will get lost in their new environments and the supportive environment they've created for themselves over many generations will be lost as well.

I didn't know that there was such a push for each county to only have one school system.

If that's the case, how in the heck does Catawba County still have 3 different school systems?
 
Mooresville still has a city school district separate from Iredell County. And Kannapolis City schools are a separate district that straddles the Cabarrus-Rowan county line.

Trump Pledges to Restore SALT Write-Off

"Donald Trump said that he would revive the state and local tax deduction, a popular tax break for New Yorkers that the former president limited during his time in the White House," Bloomberg reports. Said

"... Said Trump: “I will turn it around, get SALT back, lower your Taxes, and so much more.”

“Limiting the SALT deduction had broad support from Republican members of Congress — and not just because it helped offset other provisions to reduce tax rates and increase the standard deduction. Capping the deduction has had a disproportionate impact on jurisdictions that have higher taxes and property values — which tend to be dominated by Democrats.” ..."

Previously, Trump had basically told high tax Blue states to go pound sand about the SALT deduction, but since he decided he can fund the entire government and payoff the National Debt with ... tariffs ... he is more than willing to promise to cut all income taxes for everyone, I think, if it gets him elected.

He’s giving away a shit ton of money right now to be the nominee of the Fiscally Conservative Party.

Well, that and he has to win some of these higher-tax states where he is currently losing. I know the SALT deduction is a concern in the Philly burbs.

Well, hmm, about that fiscal conservative thing . . .

Of course Trump is trying to buy the election. What else does he have? I'd love someone to ask him if all this deficit spending would cause inflation. If not, it means Biden didn't cause inflation either.

He sounds to me like a 7th grade student council candidate promising to replace milk with soft drinks in the cafeteria, but maybe he’s correctly assessing the gullibility of the remaining persuadable voters.

Maybe it's a secret plan to deport a lot of people. Once you've got them in a shipping container, all you have to do is put the container on a large boat and off they go!

It’s been a long time and I don’t remember all the details as to how it works, but IIRC the state doesn’t have any control over the number of districts in a county. The savings by centralizing the administrative functions was the main drawing card for our plan. I figured there were probably a few counties that hadn’t adopted it yet.
I grew up in Hickory and I would have thought Catawba would have adopted it. I can’t figure out why they would still have 3 districts.
 
He is tweet storming today on a range of topics. I put the anti-immigrant stuff in the Immigration thread.

Some others (merely a sample):
