NC House Senate Nearly Approves $19B Budget

I was just browsing the local news and remembered the Budget our local Senate has come up with today, Tuesday the 29th of June. Take a look and let me know what you think about the plans to secure funds for what looks like our most important areas…IE Education and local needs.

The NC House Senate gave initial approval 31-14 to the nearly $19 billion spending plan followed by the House with a 66-49 margin. The two chambers must approve the bill once again on Wednesday before it heads to big Government.

“We took big cuts and made hard choices, but by tomorrow we will have balanced the budget with our priorities intact,” Perdue said in a news release calling the budget a “clear win” for North Carolina residents. “Most importantly, North Carolina will be positioned to fully recover from this global economic recession.”
