A Budget North Carolina Can Be Proud Of

The North Carolina House took the bold action of passing a budget that is fiscally responsible and economically sustainable. The House budget contains one of the largest tax cuts in North Carolina history, providing over a billion dollars in tax relief to the private sector. It reduces state spending in a common-sense way, and responsibly shrinks the scope of government. 
Many people have contacted me expressing concerns about how this budget will affect the teachers of North Carolina. As a former teacher myself, I recognize the vital role our teachers play in shaping the brilliant minds of the future, and they deserve our support at every level. Our budget fully funds every K-12 teaching position in the state.
Now, it's on to the Senate and then the Governor.
Rep. Jeff Collins
NC House District 25
