NC bond debate tests debt limits and household logic
Rep Dana Bumgardner argues North Carolina should fund needs without borrowing, citing eight hundred million in annual interest costs. Bond supporters led by Gov Pat McCrory say debt will shrink in five years with approved bonds. Bumgardner counters the state could repay without debt, noting five to seven years to issue bonds and plan spending, and raises questions about tax increases.

Bonds make sense right now in North Carolina
Rep. Kelly Hastings argues state bonds can fund education and infrastructure without tax increases. About half of a $2 billion package would go to universities, with $350 million to community colleges and $300 million for water and sewer projects. Public safety and National Guard projects would receive funds, and residents would vote on borrowing.
