Taken from Facebook,
This great graphic, made by a teacher in Wake County, highlights many of the major problems with this budget. We need to do better for our teachers and students!

Republicans Approve $310 Billion in Tax Cuts for Big Corporations, Remove $12 Million to Help Foster Children http://t.co/bv1LueYINO #p2

North Carolina government now faces a $445 million revenue shortfall when the fiscal year ends June 30, state budget analysts estimated Friday, raising more hurdles to Republicans’ efforts to give pay raises to all teachers and state employees.
Revenues are now predicted to fall 2.1 percent short of the $20.6 billion the legislature said it needed to carry out this year’s budget, according to a memo written by the General Assembly’s top economist and a state budget official and obtained by The Associated Press.
I guess our teachers won’t be getting those raise now, will they..
“Nash County commissioners voted unanimously Monday to direct staff to include a new $25 per year convenience center fee for households in incorporated areas of the county in the budget recommendation for next fiscal year.” http://www.rockymounttelegram.com/news/nash-board-oks-new-solid-waste-fee-municipal-property-owners-2428043
If this is enacted residents in a Nash County Municipalities, such as Rocky Mount that already receive trash and recycling service, will be assessed a new $25 annual fee in their property tax bill. In many cases residents will be paying for services never used. In addition to the new fee, County and Unincorporated Municipalities will experience a $4.00 increase. For information on fees click here and click here for the Nash County FAQ.
so the folks on the Nash Side of Rocky Mount, will be charged 25 dollars for a service provide by the City of Rocky Mount.. We will pay for a service that we will never use or be allow to use.. Cause we live in city limit of Rocky Mount, which provide those service and we are charge for each month.

From WRAL.com, @NCCapitol,
The basic premise of reform is to cut the tax rate, then tax more things.
North Carolina is one of 35 states that doesn't tax Social Security benefits. Seniors and advocates have a message for Senate leaders: Please don't start now.
"There are a lot of rumors," said Doug Dickerson, who heads the state branch of the AARP. "Some of the ideas being tossed around are pretty scary if you're a senior."
One idea floating out of the state Senate would apply state tax to Social Security benefits for those who have supplemental income.
All these new taxes so Tillis and Berger can give NC wealthy more Tax break, while taxing the poor and middle more. When will the folks of NC Wake the Fuck up and see what they are doing our State!
This would be only fair, if they taxed their retirement funds from the state too. Hell, tax all retirement funds, 401k’s too..

The new tax plan is most generous to the wealthiest North Carolinians while raising taxes on middle-income households, the BTC report said. If implemented, a family earning $24,000 a year would see its taxes rise by $500 under the new tax plan, while one earning $1 million would get a $41,000 break. The wealthiest 20 percent of taxpayers will receive a significant tax cut – a cut paid for by shifting the tax load to 60 percent of the state’s taxpayers, primarily middle class and low-income households.

Gov Perdue would like to bring back the penny sales tax (well3/4 of a penny.)
This tax will to improve our Education system here is NC. Which this would not be problem if the GOP gang in NCGA left this tax in place. I don’t have a problem with this tax.
"It's a fraction of a penny for progress," Perdue said, recapping much of what she talked about Tuesday.
and this
"They can see all that damage now," she said. "They know the reality. These things aren't just smoke and mirrors."
I can only hope that the GOP Douchebags won’t deny this. Since they are the ones who almost destroy the Education systems of NC.. for their own political gain..
