Governor Hodges proposes a two year budget exceeding one billion dollars with no tax increases. The plan prioritizes state services, merit pay, higher teaching wages, and improvements funded by bonds while preserving fiscal balance. Taxpayer burden would rise from accelerated collections and payroll withholdings starting in 1960, though no annual April tax payment is planned.

State Budget Shows Net Decline in Federal Highway Funds
The 1959 61 North Carolina budget calls for less total spending than the prior period mainly due to a drop in interstate highway funds from the Federal government. Despite the overall decrease the biennial budget nears one billion dollars with no new taxes, and a $27 million windfall from withholding state income taxes is proposed to balance the plan amid heated discussions.
