Stein Signs Budget With Wins and Warnings | Virginia Beach News

Governor Josh Stein signs North Carolina’s new two-year budget, calling it a mix of real wins and serious flaws. He celebrates historic teacher pay raises and full Medicaid funding, but laments the elimination of over 1,000 state jobs and the axing of the Office of Minority Health. He also criticizes the new tolls on essential ferry routes like Hatteras to Ocracoke. While Republicans tout tax cuts and hurricane recovery funding as wins, Stein warns these cuts could hurt everyday residents and critical services.
