Cooper Office Comments on Budget

Today, Ford Porter, spokesman for Governor Roy Cooper, shared the following comment after the legislature passed a budget without any amendments being allowed from members. The Governor will be reviewing the budget in the coming days.

“We can do so much more to raise teacher pay, improve school safety and protect drinking water but legislative Republicans thought it was more important to protect their tax breaks for corporations and people making over $200,000 a year. Governor Cooper’s budget proposed tax fairness for teacher pay along with forward thinking investments while saving responsibly.”
