Tuesday Quick HIts: Hot Policy Topics for This Week

Due to some technical issues the Monday Quick Hits did not post yesterday. No problem the real fun starts today in North Carolina.
First a quick rumor alert: The governor's budget may come out sometime this week. That will fit with the quick gear up of joint appropriation committee meetings at the General Assembly.

Now to the facts: Today the General Assembly will begin its April rounds of joint appropriation meetings. There will probably be no revenue package this year, which means we are looking at appropriation committees that will be looking at cuts. For those of us who advocate for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities and their families, cuts are not a good way to handle the current situation in North Carolina. We will be monitoring all the events in these meetings.
