Statement from Executive Director Alexandra Sirota of the NC Budget & Tax Center on NC revenue forecast
Today’s revenue forecast demonstrates that North Carolina has the capacity to provide every child a sound basic education, deliver greater financial security to families struggling with low-wage work, and ensure that communities have the infrastructure to support health and well-being for all NC residents.
Our state legislative leaders can and should choose a path that focuses on the well-being of all, not just the wealthiest few. That is the path that will put us closer to being a North Carolina where every person in every zip code can thrive.
Further efforts to divert dollars to already substantial reserves or to the pockets of profitable corporations and the wealthy few through more tax cuts will only block North Carolinians from the well-being that every person in this state deserves.
