North Carolina budget cap bill faces amendments and delays
Hensley criticizes spending priorities while an amendment to cap other funds fails. The GOP blocks moving up the July 1 effective date. Rep. Miller urges early tax relief and an effective year. The bill sets a 4.2 percent 1996 cap, lowering projections by 156 million, with a 6.1 percent rise for 1996 and a savings fund triggered by excess revenues. The fund may tax cut if over 5 percent, and the governor may tap it in crises.
