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:
North Carolina’s General Assembly recently approved an 8.8 billion dollar highway project while slashing the state’s Basic Education Program by 40 percent. NC has one of the worst education systems in the nation highlighted by the Newsweek article “Tar Heel Dunce Cap.” Citizens were willing to accept an increase in taxes for “higher teacher pay and better schools,” but the new gasoline tax will go to fund the highway system. Many are criticizing the state government for neglecting students to add what is already the nation’s largest state highway system.

Abstract:
Governor Beverly Perdue has released a budget proposal which would cut the corrections budget. As a result, programs such as Harriet’s House would be eliminated. Women who are released from prison may receive help from Harriet’s House which provides women and their children with housing and other basics so the women can readjust to life outside of prison. Former inmates Mae Stephens and Jenee Williams share their stories of how Harriet’s House helped once they left prison and prevented them from relapsing. Budget details, similar programs that will be cut, and the effects of cutting programs are detailed.

Abstract:
Although there has been some fall off in tax collections as compared to estimates, a recent study by the Wall Street Journal shows that North Carolina is in no worse condition that many others states. A growing number of states that levy consumption taxes as a source of state operating revenue are falling into the red as spending outweighs recession-eroded revenues.

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.
