In The House
Your State, Your District
Roy Cooper, Delegate 28th District
Feb. 28, 2018
I said in last weeks IN THE
HOUSE that the legislature had
passed a pay raise through
compromise and much
negotiations and that if the raise
was going to be any larger the
governor would have to make
some adjustments in his budget.
Well, he did. He raised the
estimate 0fprojected revenue for
the coming year and used this
new "invented" money to fund a
5% pay hike for teachers and a
3% hike for all other state
employees in short, he raised the
estimated income of the state
and used the extra money from
that estimate to pay for the pay
raises.
You see, the governor develops
the budget and pretty much has
the ability to work the numbers
to his advantage as long as his
budget is balanced.
I jus$'hope that his new
estimates are correct and that he
doesn't come back in special
session this fall asking for some
tax increase to make up the
money he intends to obligate us
for.
This whole thing will have to
come through the legislature in
the process of putting the final
touches on his budget.
I can see some fights already
brewing over it since, after all,
this is an election year.
The governor made a point of
