charles lighthouse and dr. robert reischauer, both of whom have been renominated after serving one full term on the boards. some members of the finance committee as well as a few others in this chamber have questioned whether having public trustees serve more than one term is beneficial. their argument seems to be that the process of producing the trustees' reports should have -- quote -- fresh eyes -- unquote -- every four years. however, to me, this argument is not all that persuasive. as the trustees go through the process of producing reports, there are many inputs and many participants, including a number of -- quote -- fresh eyes, unquote. for example, there are numerous technical panels composed of actuaries, economists, demographers and others who review the assumptions and methods used in the trust east' reports. since 1999, 50 different people have served on these technical panels weighing in on the reports and providing both fresh perspectives on the trustees' reports as well as a much needed check o

week ago there was a standoff between the coast guard and some cuban migrants who went up to a lighthouse and wouldn't come down because they wanted to get the status under the wet foot, dry foot policy. and i think we can debate that issue. i am not here today to propose changes to the status, but i do think we have to ask ourselves what about the federal benefits? what about the benefits that they're collecting which are specifically and exclusively intended for refugees and refugees only? because obviously if you're traveling back to cuba over and over again, you're not a refugee. and, therefore, you should not be eligible for these benefits. the abuses we've now seen are extensive. the stories of people that are actually living in cuba, they're living in cuba but they're collecting government benefits in america, and their family is wiring the money to them. people that are collecting an as sortment of benefits from housing to cash, and the money's being sent to them while they live in cuba for months, sometimes years at a time. it's an outrage. it's an abuse. by the way i'm of cuban

we viewed north carolina as the lighthouse of the south, educationally, politically,. it seems to now have gone in a tremendously conservative direction, and unfortunately where you sit today, rather than being in the senate, is one indication of that. the schoolboards have become conservative, the state legislature. can you define or pinpoint what has brought that about in north carolina and changed that scenario. >> i'd love to. i think when you look at north carolina -- there have been books and many, many articles on this. jane myer, who i guess writes for -- the "the new yorker --" also written a piece -- that focused on north carolina and looked at -- if you go back probably 15 years, there was a very small group that first concentrated on school boards and then on local city council races and if you think bit it, those are very cheap places to invest money that you can make a difference in who you elect. and when you get control of the school boards, guess what you control? when you get control of -- even in the state house, concentrated on the state house. once
