State legislators have now asked for $94.7 million.

Seven more bills filed since Dome last checked have added another $1.4 million in spending, even as the state faces a $2 billion shortfall.

The largest request of the most recent batch is for $900,000 to expand social work programs at state colleges, a companion to a Senate bill already filed. The smallest is $25,000 to help community resource councils at state prisons.

Other spending bills would hire 10 new inspectors for the N.C. Department of Labor, give grants to the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign and start a pilot program on international studies at two high schools.

Two others are companions to bills already filed funding an outdoor drama and provide support to people with dementia and their caregivers.

The bills also call for $11.6 million in spending next year.
