Republican lawmakers in North Carolina are furthering the delay of a two-year budget plan. The legislature is still debating whether the budget should include gambling provisions.
Since Moore confirmed earlier Tuesday that 30 of the 72 House Republicans opposed inserting the section on expanding gambling , a majority of those Republicans agreed to it.
A two-year budget — spending roughly $30 billion annually — was supposed to be enacted by July 1. But negotiations between House and Senate Republicans continued through the summer on a host of issues, including income tax cuts, pay raises, and the distribution of billions of dollars in reserve for special programs and initiatives.
Lawmakers had said they were hopeful that final budget votes would happen this week. Instead, late Tuesday, Moore shuttered formal House business until next week, when he said his chamber may use a parliamentary maneuver to hold its own budget votes to try to pressure the Senate. Any final spending plan would need to pass both the House and Senate before going to the desk of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. He said earlier Tuesday that it was"outrageous" that casinos were holding up a budget that contained money for public education, salaries and mental health treatment among other items.
