Senator deViere agrees with Governor Cooper and supports his decision to veto this bill. Surrounded by teachers, he vetoed H231 and S354, calling for the legislature to make a meaningful raise a priority for educators. Additionally, the Governor vetoed fiscally irresponsible corporate tax cuts bill.
"It’s time to prioritize our teachers & classrooms over corporate boardrooms. I agree with Governor Roy Cooper - as legislators, we should make real investments in our teachers that move them forward. Enough is enough. Let’s pass #ABetterBudget" said Senator Kirk deViere
