Favoritism Charged To GOP By Bowles In Speech
Hargrove "Skipper" Bowles Jr. charged Gov. Jim Holshouser's administration with favoring the Republican party over state interests. In a Greensboro club speech he criticized office moves costing about 360000, urged Republicans to back a stronger governor, and praised Democrats for resisting power grabs amid a Democratic General Assembly. Bowles called for leadership to counter favoritism and frills while noting a 13000-employee growth and a record Democratic landslide last fall.

The News and Observer quotes party official Ben Utley saying passage this session is unlikely due to weak economy, yet supporters argue it could ease future efforts. The proposal aims to allocate a portion of taxpayers money to party financing, a move seen as potentially beneficial to Democrats who face fundraising challenges.
