Gov. Beverly Perdue will likely give her State of the State address to the legislature next Monday evening.
A bill by Rep. Bill Owens, the House Rules Committee chairman, invites Perdue to speak to a joint session of the legislature at 7 p.m. on March 9, Rob Christensen reports.
But aides to the governor, said Perdue will most likely propose her budget a week or so after her speech to the legislature.
The State of the State address is expected to be filled with tough news as North Carolina battles with growing budget shortfalls resulting from the recession.
