Abstract:
The recommended North Carolina state budget for 1969-1971 will most likely reach and/or exceed $3.5 billion. This is an estimate based on the recommended total by the incumbent Governor Dan Moore to Governor-elect Robert Scott. It is additionally estimated that the credit balance for 1969 will exceed $100 million, allowing the incoming Governor to make some adjustments to the budget if needed.
