State House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) responded to the release of Governor Roy Cooper's budget proposal. 

 

Speaker Moore released a statement: 

 

"While there are a number of shared priorities funded in the Governor’s budget proposal, North Carolina lawmakers will remain vigilant in our responsible financial management of the state and avoid irresponsible decisions that have harmed taxpayers in the past," Speaker Moore said Wednesday.  

 

"The General Assembly will maintain budget strategies that made our state attractive to so many newcomers with a powerful economy and state government that serves citizens effectively." 

 

"I look forward to reaching consensus on a state budget that works for all North Carolinians to avoid further vetoes by the Governor of valuable funds that taxpayers earned and communities deserve."
