Sen. Jim Forrester
Gaston County Republican
Ten Terms
What two things would you cut in the state budget? He said the legislature should look at cutting some of the benefits for Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor.
He said some of the benefits exceed those of other health insurance plans.
He also said there was also savings to be found in the N.C. Department of Transportation.
Are there any taxes you would be in favor of increasing? No.
