With the prospect of a multibillion-dollar shortfall in the state budget, agencies that rely on that budget are preparing now for potential battles over funding. Joe Coletti describes that process in the next edition of Carolina Journal Radio.

One area of the state budget that deserves more funding ? shifted away from ineffective programs, of course ? is career and technical education in North Carolina?s public schools. That?s the recommendation from Terry Stoops, who will explain his reasoning during an interview with Donna Martinez.

We?ll also hear a post-election assessment of American politics from John Gizzi, who has spent three decades covering Washington, D.C., for Human Events. Tony Woodlief of the Market-Based Management Institute will join us to explain the basics of MBM, and we?ll get an update on North Carolina sheriffs? participation in the federal 287(g) program, which is designed to find illegal immigrants who have been taken to county jails.
