Lawmakers Push Bills Ahead as NC Session Heads Down
North Carolina Republicans pressed to finish work before adjournment by month end. House and Senate leaders sought final approvals on measures subject to veto, including a proposed 5.5 percent income tax cap and an agriculture bill affecting pork and dairy labeling. The budget fix passed Senate support, outlining funding for veteran homes and a death by own action prevention line, while postponing trooper training costs and leaving a Durham Orange light rail project tied to federal and private funding commitments.
