Two budgets that were irreconcilable a few weeks ago will soon be eviscerated, reorganized, and presented to the governor for signature.  The legislators on the operating table will hopefully be pulling from a few of our recommendations, thanks to the good work of our research staff and Becki Gray. The whole sordid process can be a little overwhelming for legislators and the general public alike. Knowing this, it’s standard practice around here to make sure everyone understands what needs to be done to get the most freedom-friendly budget possible.  This necessitates the occasional media appearance.  Joe Coletti spoke with WCHL in Chapel Hill, the Danny Fontana Show out of Charlotte, and News 14 about what the future budget may hold.  Bringing state issues in line with local ones, Chad Adams spoke with the Greater Guilford Republicans about the status of the state budget and the possibilities facing their local budget.
