Progressives frame NC budget shortfall as a “revenue crisis not a spending crisis”
RALEIGH/STATEWIDE–The Raleigh News and Observer’s “Under the Dome” blog reports that two progressive groups have tried to claim the high ground in the coming state budget battles.
A report from the N.C. Budget and Tax Center, written by Meg Gray Wiehe, makes the case that state spending per resident has actually dropped in the past nine years. Rob Schofield, of N.C. Policy Watch, urges work toward comprehensive reforms, “such as broadening the sales tax to include services, rather than simply across the board spending cuts.”
