(I was hoping to post the roundup this morning, but got tied up putting out a series of fires. Sorry about that!)
The AP’s Gary Robertson has a nice synopsis of the various competing tax packages proposed to backfill state budget cuts.
Greensboro’s Mark Binker weighs the impact of campaign donations on the budget-writing process.
At the VA Pilot, Catherine Kozak looks at a rather odd House budget provision that would cut funding to one NC park and change the oversight of another.
Binker also had a great red-tape story about stimulus money and state bureaucracy. Classic.
Winston-Salem’s James Romoser posted a good overview of the annexation reform debate in House Finance last week.
The N&O’s Tommy Goldsmith explains the backstory behind this nasty ad by home care advocates upset with Senator Doug Berger.
And also at the N&O, Andy Curliss says the Easley scandal could spur further ethics reforms.
(Next Mon., I promise to try to get this thing posted by noon.)
Comments? Drop me a line.
