Abstract:

As the summer legislative session ends, NC is facing the largest budget shortfall in the state’s history at 880 million dollars. Cuts are being made to school funding, environmental enforcement, social services, and health care programs. Meanwhile, legislators have been invited to 48 parties and dinners, more than one per day during the session. The benefits and favors the General Assembly receive are profiled as the poor are faced with the fallout from the budget cuts.
