Rep. Martha Alexander
Charlotte Democrat
Ninth Term
What two things would you cut in the state budget? "Until I take a look at the budget, I don't believe I can respond to that question at this time. I think people will be looking clearly to see if there are any duplication of services."
Are there any taxes you would be in favor of increasing? "I would personally be in favor of raising the alcohol taxes and the cigarette taxes but with the caveat that some of the money raised be used for (prevention and treatment) services in the field." She added the tax increases would also reduce usage, particularly among teenagers and young adults.
