A House committee tinkered with the state budget for about nine hours Wednesday.
The Appropriations committee made dozens of changes to the $20.3 billion budget, which will head to the House floor for a vote today.
Among the cuts: Money for Winston-Salem State, Johnson & Wales University, a Greensboro museum and drag-racing hall of fame.
House Speaker Joe Hackney praised the final product:
"I think we have a pretty clean budget," he said. (AP)
In all over 90 budget amendments were proposed, and 53 were adopted. The third edition of the bill is now available online here. (N.C. Bill Drafting)
