State Senator Lisa Grafstein on the budget stalemate between House and Senate Republicans
Manage episode 491740627 series 1032937
A new state fiscal year commences July 1, but North Carolina will not have a new state budget to greet it. Plagued by major differences over issues like tax policy and pay for teachers and state employees, House and Senate Republicans were unable to reach agreement before commencing their summer break and so the state will continue to limp along on the old budget for the time being.
Republicans did however find common ground on several conservative culture war priorities like weakening gun laws, banning diversity, equity and inclusion, and targeting the rights of transgender people and immigrants, and this past week, NC Newsline caught up with Wake County State Senator Lisa Grafstein to learn more.
