1933 North Carolina Assembly Seen as Constructive Record
The 1933 General Assembly adjourned after four and a half months, praised for balance of the budget and tax relief. It established an eight month school term with no property tax, cut state salaries, enacted a 3 percent sales tax with foods exempt, and raised franchise taxes on major utilities. It reduced overall expenditures from 1931 levels and streamlined state operations including a merged Highway and Public Works Commission.
