North Carolina:
If you are curious, session starts January 28th. With that clock ticking in the background the General Assembly is holding multiple meetings over the next few weeks to get its legislative proposals set to go. The budget is still the most obvious topic. Budget projects show short fall between 2.7 billion and 3.5 billion. Personally, I am thinking 3.5 billion is more likely. So with a tight appropriation there will be a lot of legislative proposals that will lack appropriation requests. Here is the list of what we are watching this week:
