Warm Winter Eases Budgets In New Bern Homes
Margaret Hester and her daughter Alecia Gillison enjoy unseasonably warm December weather on Main Street New Bern. With electric heat costing 300 to 500 dollars last winter they welcome milder days but brace for higher bills as forecasts call for above normal temperatures then a drop to the 20s at night. Experts say each degree over 68 raises costs about 3 percent, making natural gas the more economical choice for many households.

Legislators show strong support for tax relief plan
Incoming lawmakers across the Senate and House express clear backing for tax cuts and spending restraint. A Associated Press survey shows 97 percent of senators and 95 percent of House members favor foregoing new spending to fund tax relief, with broad support for cutting intangibles and personal income taxes while considering budget reforms tied to revenue. Governor Hunt backs a 1995 package including sweeping intangibles relief, corporate tax reduction, and child tax credits, while seeking further spending cuts to fund relief and economic development.
