House sends budget to Senate

RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - North Carolina would spend more money on education, give raises to state employees and prolong two tax increases under a proposed two-year budget plan approved by the N.C. House early today.

The proposed state budget would spend $20.3 billion in 2007-08, up from $18.9 billion in the current fiscal year. It was approved along party lines, with Democrats supporting the budget and Republicans opposing it.
