NC Budget Reached

WRAL is reporting that North Carolina Republican legislative leaders have reached an agreement on adjustments to the second year of the two-year state government budget approved last fall, officials said yesterday. House Speaker Tim Moore and Lauren Horsch, a spokesperson for Senate leader Phil Berger, confirmed the agreement separately, but neither provided details. Moore said the actual legislation would be filed by tonight, with two affirmative votes in the House and Senate required by the end of the week before it could head to the desk of the governor. The new fiscal year starts Friday.
