Major differences must be ironed out by legislature
The North Carolina General Assembly faces a tense final stretch as major policy gaps remain. The House rejected using a 30 million postwar reserve to cushion revenues and approved a 50 million bond issue for schools while backing Governor Scott’s rural road plan with a separate gas tax increase. A $100.9 million WW II veteran bonus vote was defeated, a $7.5 million port-improvement bond passed, and a labor bill to loosen anti closed shop rules was killed. The appropriations bill, at 418 million, will spark clashes between school supporters and fiscal conservatives next week.
