John Hood of the John Locke Foundation critiques Gov. Hunt’s $343 million tax relief as short of revenue growth, urging deeper cuts and reallocation to education. He proposes trimming non-teaching school staff funding by 15 percent for $58 million, consolidating remediation funds for $13 million, and raising UNC tuition to 85 percent of the national average to save or fund education, while shifting tax cuts to families. He notes education’s slow growth relative to General Fund spending from 1990–95 and calls for re-engineering state spending with education as a top priority.
