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.
