Abstract:

With the state facing a possible $1 billion deficit in 2001, Governor Mike Easley is supporting a state lottery as a way to ease this and future financial difficulties. Geary discusses reactions around the state to this proposal, including ones from the North Carolina Council of Churches and the North Carolina Budget and Tax Center.
