of engineering education facilities, the enhancement and repair of state assets
and community college assets, and investment in research and job training
equipment at universities and community colleges."

NC House Gives Final Passage to Budget Proposal
 |
Last Friday, a little after midnight, the NC House gave its final approval with
a vote of 63-49, mostly along party lines, to their budget proposal. This $18.9

aims to create jobs through targeted tax relief for small businesses and makes
cuts across the board – but most significantly in education and health and human
services.
