Folwell: Blue Cross owes taxpayers MILLION$

To the chagrin of the GOP establishment, state treasurer Dale Folwell is not leaving his post at the state treasurer’s office quietly.  The retiring Folwell. fired off a not-so-subtle letter to Blue Cross’s president just before the recent election:



No one in our bought-and-paid-for General Assembly would have the guts to get tough like this with Blue Cross. Sadly, all Blue Cross has to do is wait Folwell out.  He leaves office at the end of the year.

Folwell is being *replaced* by a Chapel Hill beta male who has been a Republican for *all of ten minutes.*  Said beta male spent much of the campaign speaking about his plans to reverse all of Folwell’s changes and accomplishments.  The new guy was recruited and financed and managed by the Phil Berger political machine. So, he’ll likely defer in all matters to the guys and gals on Jones Street who loooooooove them some Blue Cross. 

It’s been nice actually having a state official actually working for the average working people out here.
