Gov. Pat McCrory said this morning he will sign the budget compromise the state Senate approved this week.

The House is expected to give the $21.7 billion spending plan final approval tonight or tomorrow morning before it heads to the governor's desk. 

Host Frank Stasio talks with WUNC capitol reporters Jeff Tiberii and Jorge Valencia about the details of the final budget and how the General Assembly came to an agreement on state spending.
