Abstract:
The state will cut 400 million dollars from its budget for the fiscal year and almost half will be cut from education. Meanwhile, the highway construction package will receive zero cuts and will cost 9.2 billion dollars. Money could be shifted from the highway fund to prevent cuts in education which provide a greater return on investment than does building roads. NC legislators are unlikely to do this as lobbying is strong, but cutting education spending will likely hurt the students of NC.

Abstract:
Facing a severe budget crisis, the NC is cutting funds for mental health services which will affect approximately 900, 000 North Carolinians. According to the Mental Health Study Commission, 600 million is needed for services and those services would save the state money in the long-term. There is bi-partisan support for funding, but it is unlikely to happen with the budget crisis.

Abstract:
North Carolina is experiencing a budget crisis during the current recession. Some legislators want to divert money from the Highway Trust Fund to education, environmental, and social programs. It is unlikely to happen due to the culture of the legislature and the financial contributions of the transportation lobbyists. Meanwhile NC has the highest infant mortality rate in the country, is near the bottom in SAT scores, and is among the lowest spenders on environmental protection projects.
