Legislature Probes Reading Plan Amid Hunt Green Feud
North Carolina lawmakers in the Appropriations education subcommittee push a full review of Governor Hunt's reading program costing about 60 million dollars yearly.

Meanwhile older residents may gain tuition-free access to higher education under a bill by Rep. Messer, citing declining enrollments and space limits.
