Stein Signs $34B Budget; COVID Bar Lawsuit Update
Description
Governor Josh Stein has signed North Carolina’s $34 billion state budget into law just ahead of the deadline, with the program featuring extensive audio from the governor outlining the budget’s investments in education, public safety, Hurricane Helene recovery, and other statewide priorities, while also highlighting areas where he believes the spending plan falls short. Mitch Kokai of the John Locke Foundation joins the program to discuss the latest developments in litigation stemming from COVID-era business closures, including a judge’s rejection of a motion filed by North Carolina bar owners and news that a separate case has been successfully mediated. Plus, Governor Stein signs four additional bipartisan bills into law.
