mamaroe4 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I doubt the Guvahnator would do something like that! If it was before the election he might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneynutangie Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 If North Carolina does not offer this then I guess I might consider crossing the boarder for one of those larger purchase items. (crossing finger for laptop). As of right this momemt I called my dh to tell him I am going to Gaffney Prime Outlet at midnight for some tax free shopping.
