"A plane is not necessary," said Easley spokeswoman Sherry Johnson. "It's not going to be purchased in this economy."
I am glad that the State and Easley decided not to continue with this purchase. Why was this even being done at all? The State says that it needs a plane to bring investment into the State. I am not sure if they have ever heard of "Chartering" vs. owning. I work in the private sector and most of us fly commercial or at best charter. The State of North Carolina getting into the plane ownership business is a joke. You can charter a heck of a lot of flights for 9M dollars! I say fly commercial like the rest of us.
