“Freedom Budget” Offers Savings, Tax Cuts

RALEIGH — North Carolina leaders should find significant and permanent savings in the state budget to restore fiscal responsibility, uphold constitutional principles, and allow for dramatic tax cuts to offer relief to North Carolina families and pro-growth incentives for North Carolina’s struggling economy. That’s the conclusion of The Freedom Budget, a new report outlining an alternative state budget for the next two fiscal years. It was released Tuesday by the John Locke Foundation, a Raleigh-based think tank.
