Senate panels unveil NC budget ideas for next year
RALEIGH, N.C. (StarNewsOnline.com) - Senate budget-writers unveiled draft proposals Friday to eliminate more health positions then Gov. Beverly Perdue recommended in next year's North Carolina state government spending plan, while adding back funds she sought for local mental health agencies and selling state aircraft.
Several budget subcommittees rolled out portions of the roughly $19 billion spending plan to adjust the second year of the two-year budget approved last summer.
Four subcommittees that met agreed with Perdue to trim spending for dozens of agencies - with the deepest cuts coming in the Department of Health and Human Services, which makes up about one-fifth of the state budget. The reductions are designed to balance the spending plan starting July 1 to reflect a gap between revenues and expenditures of $800 million to $1 billion.
