Rep. Bill Daughtridge is seeking nearly $19 million in state spending.
The Republican nominee for state treasurer has cosponsored six bills seeking appropriations in the upcoming state budget.
Among the larger appropriations bills he is cosponsoring: $6 million for the Communities in Schools dropout prevention program, $5.6 million for the N.C. Museum of Art, $3.2 million for a biotechnology research campus at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, $2 million for the N.C. Arts Council and $2 million for a business incubator for homeland security and national defense.
He also cosponsored a bill for $100,000 to study the state Department of Public Instruction.
Daughtridge's Democratic opponent, state Sen. Janet Cowell, has sponsored and cosponsored bills seeking $76 million in appropriations.
Both Daughtridge and Cowell are cosponsors on the dropout prevention program, the N.C. Museum of Art projects and the N.C. Arts Council funding, which would total $13.7 million in spending.

Re: Daughtridge seeks $19m in state spending
We need all of our politicians to sponsor either cuts in waste or elimination of special interest spending. We have to pay our teachers better than dirt wages and gives them tools to do their jobs. We need to get that money from our stupid projects that i like to call them.
