State Assembly Ends Hectic Week With 14 Local Bills Passed
North Carolina lawmakers wrapped a frenzied week by approving an aggregate of 14 local measures in brief sessions. Rift lines opened over schooling policy as senators leaned toward a $10,000,000 equalizing fund for school aid, contrasting with the MacLean plan for full state support. A Folger bill proposing a $10 million fund was introduced to raise $3.5 million more, and the House also passed the SeanWell banking bill.
