If NC voters cap income tax rates at 3.49% max, and then the state needs funding, more and more people says other sales taxes and fees could be approved. @Bode4Senate says alternative taxes can work, at times, but "working families" feel the sting the most. #ncpol #Statelines

Some states have no income tax. You can argue they have robust tourism industries where visitors boost revenue via sales taxes. @PatRyanNC says NC tax policy focuses on recruiting full-time residents & having them move here, then pay a low income tax rate. #ncpol #Statelines @My @MyPBSNC

Democratic strategist @SFalmlen explains his position that @NCGOP leaders, in pushing tax cap amendments, are making schools worse & pushing off legislative duties to voters that they could take action on. Agree or Disagree? #ncpol #statelines @MyPBSNC

NC tax revenues exceed budget forecasts for another year, as income tax rates are lowering & voters decide the 3.5% income tax cap. @senatorberger gets a "See, I told you so...again" moment. Strategist @Capcomminc says caps are popular over "affordability". #ncpol #StateLines

Rep. @LoftonforNC leads off opposition debate to NC's proposed "property tax" constitutional amendment referendum. His take: State budgets are pushing costs to local govts...now state lawmakers want to cap how locals pay for the increased costs. #ncpol #StateLines

Pay raises are part of the NC budget discussion this Spring/Summer. Well-organized employee groups can communicate & apply political pressure, but former NC Gov. @PatMcCroryNC highlights one group of state workers, he believes, need attention. #ncpol #Statelines @MyPBSNC

It appears "expanded" Medicaid, in NC, is now just "Medicaid" with future costs being rolled into regular budgeting. However, it's much more expensive now. @RepHumphrey (R-Lenoir) says Medicaid can help rural areas but spending oversight is now crucial. #ncpol #StateLines @MyPBSNC

Is the term "waste, fraud & abuse" already politicized to the point where if you (or I) don't like a govt program's funding, we just apply the W/F/A abuse label and demand action? @RaleighReporter discusses this. Your thoughts? #ncpol #StateLines @MyPBSNC

For NC to reach a budget deal, addressing tax cuts and those cuts potential effect on state revenues must be discussed between @NCHouseGOP & @MyNCSenate. Reporter @dawnbvaughan says there's been chats, but she isn't seeing movement on compromise just yet. #ncpol #StateLines

GOP and Democratic circles both believe a broad NC budget bill needs to pass in the 2026 legislative session. I asked consultant @MaggieKBarlow what @NC_Governor's influence might be on budgeting. Does the @NCGOP completely own this? #ncpol #StateLines

@donaldbryson of @JohnLockeNC says @NCGOP should push to pass a comprehensive budget this Spring for political reasons. @NC_Governor rolled out a proposal for 6% pay hikes for teachers & Bryson notes that's a change from a previous pay plan. #ncpol #StateLines @MyPBSNC

@ncae wants teachers to protest, in Raleigh, on May 1, 2026 over NC public education funding. That's a Friday, when most legislators aren't in Raleigh, but @dawnbvaughan explains why legislators can be home & teachers still make a point to them. #StateLines #ncpol

Could @sampage4nc's primary victory actually raised the possibility of a NC budget bill getting passed this Spring due to new dynamics? @dawnbvaughan of @newsobserver is watching for a political "thaw" on the budget issue between NC House & Senate. #ncpol #statelines @MyPBSNC

Earlier, we posted a clip from @crabberwral's interview w/ @SenThomTillis where Tillis lays NC's lack of a budget passage on @SenatorBerger. On State Lines, @ByAdamWagner of @wunc says it's interesting Tillis keeps watch, still, over NC politics in Raleigh. #ncpol #Statelines

The @SenatorBerger vs @sampage4nc race ended, on Primary night, with Page showing a 23-vote lead. After a machine recount, then partial human eye review, the 23-vote lead didn't budget. @Billy_K_Ball of @CardinalAndPine says that proves the system is working in NC. #statelines #ncpol

Multiple NC towns are fighting Data Center zoning requests or considering moratoriums to stop them temporarily. Why? People are using AI a lot and it's not going anywhere. @RaleighReporter says look at jobs created & fear of higher residential power bills. #ncpol #Statelines
