North Carolina Officials Face Pay Cuts Across States
North Carolina is not alone as lawmakers cut salaries for state and county officials. Kansas Congressman Harold McGugin calls for a 25 percent cut in federal and state pay, while North Carolina contends with a 10 percent reduction enacted by the 1931 General Assembly. University professors and high-paid education officials oppose the cuts, though teachers largely accept them due to strained economic conditions. Governor Gardner faced campus backlash over the plan, but Raleigh workers note the measure helped avert deeper cuts.
