Resolution sets 20 percent cut in state agencies

The plan directs department heads to implement the cut at their discretion, aiming to avert ad valorem taxes, with debate on impacts by Rep. McBee and others. The measure moved to the Senate after unanimous House support for the substitute.

Raleigh May 19 The Senate wrangled over a motion by Senator Hinsdale Wake to reject the revenue compromise reported by the conference committee, which had been rejected in the House.
