| RALEIGH – Today, Governor Cooper has announced that he will veto the state budget, which would provide tax relief to the middle class, a heft teacher pay raise, and puts $363 million in our rainy day fund.
Civitas President Francis De Luca said, “It is truly a shame that Governor Cooper has once again chosen to put his politics before the people of North Carolina. By doing so, he is denying North Carolinians real tax relief, more school choice options, and the stability of a hefty rainy day fund for state emergencies. If legislators chose to adopt the Cooper budget, it would mean higher spending, higher taxes, and it would also hurt the poor, mostly minority and special needs children who would benefit from the school choice options in the current budget.” He continued, “Governor Cooper’s grandstanding is not only shameful, it is fruitless. He knows that with bipartisan support, the General Assembly will override his veto and do what he refuses to do- put the people first.” To request an interview with Francis De Luca, contact Demi Dowdy at demi.dowdy@nccivitas.org. Founded in 2005, the Civitas Institute is a Raleigh, NC-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit policy organization that fights to remove barriers to freedom so that all North Carolinians can enjoy a better life. ###

Did you happen to see what Chairman Pelosi told Gov Eudy to say…”It’s not the vision”…Sounds like “we can do better.”
This is silly. What, exactly, is Gov Eudy’s vision? His puppet Cooper cannot seem to get in front of a camera and articulate it (or anything else for that matter). As the DNC, the NC Dems have no message. Under Obama we were lurching towards Venezuela – were socialism has plunged that country, and especially their poor, into despair. But we are wise to false promises of utopia and free lunches. Please, Eudy, give us some more than “we can do better.”
I urge North Carolina law makers not to release private information for each registered voter to TRUMPS special group looking into voter fraud. This is a witch hunt that Trump can’t or will not let go. This is violating our privacy rules. President Trump stop this mess and get on with completing your promises that are important to all American Citizens. Medical health insurance; tax decrease; equal rights for all citizens. We as citizens have a vested interest in “our country”. You are working for us so please lead the country to our advantage. Thank you.
Finally to NC don’t turn over our private information
