Governor Hoey Points To Record North Carolina Budget
North Carolina’s General Assembly prepared to begin work on what observers predict will be the largest tax and spending program in state history. Governor Hoey’s message urges expanding state services including adding a 12th grade and higher pay for veteran teachers, with no retrenchment and no tax cuts. The 3 percent sales tax remains, and the advisory budget commission’s 1939 41 plan will be released soon. Public school costs would rise by 1.5 million dollars annually for the new grade.
