Writers check final details of state budget
Officials unlikely to get close look at document before votes start today
RALEIGH (AP) - Legislative budget writers yesterday checked the fine print of the two-year state budget, sorting out final details like eliminating financing for a short-lived public schools CEO.
The double-checking meant that most legislators were unlikely to get their own review copies of the nearly 300-page document until hours before the first of two days of votes starting today.
House and Senate Democrats completed a tentative budget agreement for the next two years late Friday. After talks with Gov. Beverly Perdue's staff over the weekend, negotiators combed through the spending plan to make sure the language matched the agreed details.
