This morning, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory announced his first biennial budget proposal of his administration.
The governor’s $20.6 billion spending plan continues to implement his vision of a government that focuses on delivering the best possible results, customer service and quality of life for the people of North Carolina. By turning the page on the kind of short-term budget gimmicks, debt and irresponsible taxes that hurt economic growth and prosperity in the past, Governor McCrory’s fiscally responsible budget strengthens North Carolina’s foundation for future generations and moves the state closer to fulfilling and even exceeding its potential.
