LAST WEEK IN Washington DC and in RALEIGH:
Last week a bipartisan coalition of US senators - including NC's Sen. Richard Burr and Sen. Thom Tillis - showed their commitment to bold infrastructure action at the national level. Working across the aisle, they passed a long-sought suite of comprehensive federal infrastructure investments, sending the $1.2 trillion package on to the House, where representatives are expected to take the legislation up sometime after they reconvene on August 23 to consider a separate budget resolution.
Last week the N.C. House passed its proposed version of the state budget, setting the stage for cross-chamber budget negotiations. The House secured its budget with bipartisan support after members spent several days negotiating and making changes in committee and on the House floor. The $25.7 million budget matches the overall spending amount proposed in the Senates earlier budget, the the two chamber's proposals differ in the details. We applaud both the N.C. House and N.C. Senate members for their inclusion of measures that aim to reform our regressive franchise tax, provide critical support for state-maintained infrastructure, and strengthen bonds between education and workforce development.
Want to know the latest from the North Carolina General Assembly?
They have a robust website with details and links to answer questions you may have related to current legislation under consideration. Here you will find calendars for both the House and Senate, daily lists of Bills that were filed or acted upon, a Bill look-up field, and much more. Check it out!
