It’s possible some of Nifong’s constituents are receiving more than they have given, but if the state is indeed stuck with paying a large settlement, even they may feel the bite.
State funds that are used to pay the possible settlement won’t be there to fund nanny programs, the likes of which those who pay less than their equitable amount of taxes tend to exploit.
Few Durham citizens are going to get out of this without some small sting for backing that race baiting S.O.B..
It's really too bad that the taxpaying citizens who didn't support this lynching of the students are going to have to pay for it with even higher taxes. The welfare recipient citizens of Durham, who pushed this won't suffer at all. They'll just elect another democrat.
