Legislators have asked for $120m so far
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2009-02-10 16:53State legislators have now asked for $120.7 million.
Nine more bills filed since Dome last checked have added another $26 million in spending, even as the state faces a $2 billion shortfall.
The largest request of the most recent batch is for $20 million to provide grants through the Rural Economic Development Center to help rural communities. The smallest is $50,000 to study the feasability of offering financial incentives to students to get good grades.
Other spending bills would create a No Adult Left Behind initiative to train adult workers, help the Ahoskie Boys and Girls Club build a new facility, help renovate the historic Barker House in Edenton, repair the historic Hope Plantation, help build a new public library in Ahoskie, pay for an employee to run the N.C. Troopers Association's Caisson Unit, and fund the N.C. Science Olympiad.
The bills also call for $5.3 million in spending next year.
