Legislature Nears End as Budget Battles Persist
Raleigh reports the House sent to the Senate a Bowie-Cherry substitute for the appropriations bill, seeking to balance the budget with deep cuts and no sales tax. The measure funds public schools at 15.05 million for six months, while Senate and House clash over tax, valuation and interlocking measures, with adjournment unlikely before three weeks, possibly longer if deadlocks deepen. Two foreclosure bills pass both houses, and consolidation of the Prison and Highway Commission is floated. A new law allows unincorporated groups to sue in a common name.
