Abstract:
The 1957 North Carolina General Assembly are facing unexpected and substantially increasing financial problems. Pay increases for teachers and funds for one week before and after school ends were originally recommended; however, where these adjustments would be made within the state's budget was uncertain. Increases to teacher pay would require a small tax increase or spending of the surplus.

Abstract:
The North Carolina General Fund budget presented to legislature in February recommends an 18.1 percent increase in appropriations for operations. This combined with a increase in spending voted upon in 1961 will result in General Fund tax spending in the new biennium at a rate of $1.64 for every dollar spent in the last biennium. In other words, a 64.6 percent hike in General Fund tax support for budgeting operations.

Abstract:
Despite being a primary concern of North Carolina's Governor Sanford, public schools are getting a smaller share of the General Fund than received under previous administrations. This is due to the sharp decline in pupil attendance, and the millions usually spent on pupils will become available to help pay for teacher salary increases and other public school improvements. In turn, more funds are left over from sales tax to pay for expansions and improvements in other state operations.

Abstract:
Governor Scott proposed in the legislative budget to increase the gross premium tax on insurance companies doing business in North Carolina. The state’s life insurance industry believes this is an undue tax burden, which would further result in driving off investment capital from the state, placing the domestic life insurance industry at a further disadvantage in competing with out-of-state firms.
