A real expansion

I really liked Adam Linker’s Feb. 24 Point of View “McCrory’s Medicaid moment” in taking the initiative away from Washington and exercising it here in North Carolina. Sure, it will be difficult to win enough support from the troglodytes in Raleigh, but it sounds as if most of the pieces for a state-crafted solution are in existence, waiting to be put into play.

I wonder how many site-seeking corporate leaders would be attracted to the resulting evidence of nimble, prosperity-enhancing leadership in the statehouse!
