Busy Week Ahead as North Carolina General Assembly Convenes
North Carolina lawmakers brace for a busy week with key actions expected on a minimum wage bill to make the state the first in the South with such a law. Revenue projections on April income tax and next two fiscal years budgets will be reviewed as the Appropriations Committee prepares its next biennial plan. A heated House debate on Highway Commission reorganization is anticipated, with administration allies opposing a bill to grow membership from seven to fourteen. The House will also consider a measure to empower National Guardsmen with arrest powers for strike duties, while the Senate has already approved a related coast-to-coast proposal. The wage bill could raise pay for about 55 000 workers by roughly 15 cents an hour, or six dollars weekly, boosting purchasing power by millions. The debate includes whether to replace at large seats with one member from each highway engineering division, a shift opposed by highway backers.
