What two things would you cut in the state budget? "I'm not a big fan of the More at Four program," Brunstetter said. "I don't think it has had the impact that justifies the cost."

He added that there needs to be some consideration of merging More at Four with Smart Start, another pre-school program.

Are there any taxes you would be in favor of increasing? He said he would favor a reduction in the state income tax, to recruit more industry. It could also bring in more revenue, because some companies are reporting income in other states rather in North Carolina.
