North Carolina Legislature Acts On Budget And Bills
The General Assembly spent long hours shaping a two year budget and acted on controversial measures. A House bill to replace the State Board of Elections passed the Senate by 25 to 23. Governor Umstead signaled opposition. The session also moved a plan to replace the State Personnel Council with a five member group and to revamp several state commissions. A driver license renewal measure drew criticism as backward for highway safety. The budget debate continues next week focusing on UNC, mental hospitals, and public schools amid a 637 million dollar recommendation. Additional appropriations approved include 61 thousand for the Department of Public Instruction and other items, while some requests were denied.
