Call. 95: Study Proposes Over $100 Million in State Higher Ed. Savings

A state budget crisis has a new governor hamstrung, legislators flummoxed, state agencies fearful of reductions, taxpayers fretting over future tax increases, and state lottery opponents afraid they'll lose their issue. Changing Course IV, a publication of the John Locke Foundation, proposes a biennial budget for North Carolina that would calm the fears of the taxpayers and lottery opponents. It would exacerbate those of the state agencies, however.
