It costs the taxpayers of North Carolina about $62,500 each day the General Assembly is in session to pay all the salaries, keep the lights and air conditioner on and other operating expenses.  Today, while the Senators are voting on their version of the $21.3 billion budget, the House will be considering other important matters – like a bill recognizing the one hundredth anniversary of “Everybody’s Day”.

All this for $62,500 a day.
