Abstract:

The North Carolina Senate passed its $22.2 billion budget on Friday, on a 26–13 party-line vote. Good things about the budget include a raise in teacher pay, elimination of the light rail funding cap, and reconsideration of historically black college and university tuition. Bad parts of the budget are cuts to low-income energy assistance, Jordan Lake clean-up, and education.
