Governor Warns Tax Amendment Hurts Regular Folks

North Carolina’s governor is sounding the alarm over a ballot amendment that would slash the state’s income tax cap from 7% to 3.5%, calling it a rigged deal designed to protect the wealthy while forcing everyday residents to pay more through sales tax and other fees. He argues the state’s tax rate is already at a record low, public workers haven’t seen meaningful pay raises, and eliminating the corporate tax would cost billions — leaving everyday North Carolinians to shoulder the burden. Analysts see it as a solidification of tax cuts, but the governor’s warning is clear: this vote could reshape who pays what — and who benefits — in the state’s future budget.
