Legislature edge toward constructive record in tax cuts
Raleigh May 28 The North Carolina legislature ends a 141 day session amid bickering yet stands to be remembered as highly constructive. The body enacted a revenue bill slashing annual taxes by about 26.1 million dollars, including a six month school term saving 15.6 million for property taxpayers. A highway reorganization law shifts county road maintenance to the state, yielding a gross 58.6 million and net 5 million in county savings. Additional savings include 2 million from the new appropriations bill and 1 million from the division of purchase, with the personnel and local government divisions also contributing smaller cuts.
