@kellymccullen @sampage4nc @dawnbvaughan @newsobserver @MyPBSNC @SenatorBerger I’m just a country boy, but all I know is that, since 2011 with Senator Berger, every time the income tax rate was reduced the NC DOR took in more tax revenue, not less. Why would we want to screw that up?

@bruce1105nc @sampage4nc @dawnbvaughan @newsobserver @MyPBSNC State Medicaid funding and OBBB compliance costs on local govts......that's the juggernaut that's coming in the next couple of years. The Medicaid expansion captured in working people without coverage to too high of a salary & Republicans know that is a key voting bloc for them

Could @sampage4nc's primary victory actually raised the possibility of a NC budget bill getting passed this Spring due to new dynamics? @dawnbvaughan of @newsobserver is watching for a political "thaw" on the budget issue between NC House & Senate. #ncpol #statelines @MyPBSNC

@kellymccullen @mitchkokai @JohnLockeNC @SenatorBerger He didn’t bring enough “pork” back to his district because he was working for the good of the entire state- what does that tell you about our system of government?

@mitchkokai of @JohnLockeNC says @senatorberger, as NC's most powerful legislator, often worked on big issues. He says, if you look at political "pork" for Rockingham County for the past 15 years, Sen. Berger didn't self-aggrandize with big projects. #ncpol #statelines

@kellymccullen @SenThomTillis @SenatorBerger @crabberwral @pbsnc Trigger for 2028 now forecast to be met prompting 2.99% NC income tax. If trigger raised per House budget, taxpayers will pay 3.99%. Higher tax is good for business, Sen Tillis?

U.S. @SenThomTillis weighs on NC lawmakers - NC Republican legislators - not being able to pass a comprehensive state budget bill. @senatorberger is called out. He was interviewed by @crabberwral for @pbsnc. #ncpol

@kellymccullen @NCGOP @Billy_K_Ball @CardinalAndPine I’m a real person sitting at home wondering how much Medicaid fraud do we have in NC? For example how many taxpayer dollars are received by hospitals for treating illegal immigrants?

In a few weeks, NC legislators, namely the @ncgop, will face how to backfill a state funding deficit for NC's Medicaid program. There doesn't appear to be enough budgeted to get NC Medicaid through June 30, 2026. @Billy_K_Ball of @CardinalAndPine says "Real People" are watching #ncpol #statelines

@kellymccullen @SenThomTillis @SenatorBerger @crabberwral @pbsnc NC income tax in 2027 reduces to 3.49% from 3.99% after trigger. New budget means trigger raised and no tax reduction. Rate stays at 3.99%. Higher tax is good for business, Sen Tillis?

@TheTennisLetter Because of the way she thinks, I wouldn’t touch her with a 10’ pole.

Danielle Collins says Moutet was upset she said she wasn’t interested in short kings "He unfollowed me after my dating profile where I said I’m not interested in the short kings. He messaged me & unfollowed me. He slid back in my DMs last night” 😭😭😭😭

@DaniilMedwed @united @MiamiOpen You can borrow a racket from Rublev, Daniil. 😀

Hi @united…need a little help. Flew from PSP to Florida yesterday and none of my bags arrived. Kind of need them to play in the @MiamiOpen 😉….can you help?

@BrianBalfourNC EVs or VinFast going back to gas powered? 😉

Then: Gov. Cooper announces $760 million taxpayer giveaway to VinFast - they will create 7,500 jobs and begin production in 2024 Now: VinFast might create 1,400 jobs and may begin production in 2028 #ncpol businessnc.com/vinfast-plans-…

@BrianBalfourNC That’s what the Affordable Care Act did, already, didn’t it?

Serious question: Has Roy Cooper said one word telling us HOW he plans to make healthcare more affordable? Maybe I missed it. #ncpol

@BrianBalfourNC Good luck getting into the emergency room if you have a real emergency.

In just over 2 years, Medicaid expansion has added more than 713,000 people to the Medicaid rolls. That's more than the population of Raleigh and Fayetteville combined. Unsustainable. #ncpol

@nowayholmes Line drive caught by the left fielder.

WHAT WAS THAT😭

@BrianBalfourNC And the democrats want to raise taxes? Why not stop the waste, fraud and abuse first!

@bruce1105nc the source I saw did not break it down by state cms.gov/newsroom/fact-…

CMS reports that more than $37 billion in improper Medicaid payments were made nationwide last year. And that's just what they caught. #ncpol abc11.com/post/north-car…

🚨 JUSTICE SERVED: $12.7 MILLION MEDICAID FRAUD BUST IN EASTERN CAROLINA! Four individuals just got slammed with prison sentences after running a massive Medicaid fraud scheme that stole $12.7 MILLION from taxpayers, money meant for the truly needy.

@GuntherEagleman 600,000 more North Carolinians covered by Medicaid in NC since Medicaid Expansion last year. Emergency rooms are now jam packed.
