Greetings from the #ncga and Department of Administration. #ncpol #budgetweek

@will_doran We'd love to see more coverage of the robotics funding for schools in the budget!

More details on the tax cuts, pay raises and more here: newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

NC budget just passed the Senate 40-8. Most Democrats on board, along with all Republicans #ncpol #ncga @SenatorBerger says: "The multibillion dollar surpluses these (GOP) policies helped create are evidence that they're working, and it means we can cut taxes even more."

@MurphinNC Does it still contain the school robotics funding?

Sports-related things in NC budget: • $23.4M for esports (at NCSU, UNCG, to attract events) • $46M for motorsports ($40M for infrastructure at speedways) * In-state tuition for out-of-state athletic scholarships * High school athletic field improvements newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

@dawnbvaughan Does anyone know if the robotics funding will be in it?
