Here are some legislative briefs that describe in plain language what these bills do and the potential impacts for people, communities & NC overall. ncbudget.org/tax-bil... #ncpol

North Carolina is being sold a bad budget deal! NCGA leadership’s proposal keeps us on the same path, eliminating the Corporate Income Tax and cut the Personal Income tax as low as 2.49%. The majority of the proposed income tax cuts would go to the richest 1% of North Carolinians. #BadBudgetDealNC

Legislators have the tools today to deliver immediate, adequate property tax relief to those facing unaffordable bills. Instead, they are moving to limit local communities ability to set their own budgets, providing no real relief and creating more costs for people across the state. #ncpol #ncga

#ncga leadership is pushing constitutional limits on tax options. The income tax cap would limit the state’s most important revenue sources that ensures the wealthy and profitable corporations pay their fair share so we all enjoy good schools, safe communities and access tot he care we need.

The agenda of #ncga leaders is clear: rig the rules of the economy by shifting costs onto families and communities, locking in benefits for people with the most wealth and corporations with record profits, blocking the public investments and worker power that help people build better lives. #ncpol

Senate leaders are moving quickly to ram through a bad budget deal for NC, including an income tax cap that would constrain the primary source of revenue for the General Fund and limit one of the taxes most aligned with people’s ability to pay. ncbudget.org/stateme... #ncpol

The deluge of tax & budget news last week should have us all scrambling for shelter. On Friday, state economists said revenue is coming in high enough to hit the trigger lawmakers built into law- teeing up another income tax cut that mostly benefits the wealthy. www.osbm.nc.gov/facts-figure...

North Carolinians need leaders who understand the real pressures families and communities are facing and who are willing to adapt when the facts demand it. Instead, this budget deal reflects a pattern of intentional neglect. ncbudget.org/stateme... #ncpol #ncga

Stop the tax cuts before Jan 1! North Carolina can't afford to lose $1 billion more in public funding next year. We need those dollars for what matters most in our communities! #LoveNCFundNC #NCPol #NCGA

Partial funding for food assistance is the minimum. NC families need the administration to do ALL it can to keep food affordable for the entire month, for every one of the 1.4 people in our state who need this help to keep hunger in check.

High grocery costs are already stretching budgets to their limits. Next month, 1.4 million North Carolinians could see their grocery bills skyrocket. President Trump must release the funding NC’s counting on to keep delivering #SNAP assistance that helps NC families.

The federal government has partially shut down. This happens when Congress doesn’t agree to a funding proposal by September 30th, their fiscal year deadline. www.cbpp.org/researc... 1/7

The Trump Administration and some Republicans in Congress are trying to drive up families’ health care costs by taking away premium tax credit enhancements that help people afford health coverage. #ncpol www.usatoday.com/sto...#ncpol1/7

🚨 Millions of student loan borrowers are about to pay more as interest rates increase under the fed SAVE plan, and that program will be cut entirely by July 2028, thanks to the harmful Republican megabill passed by Congress & signed by Pres. Trump. www.forbes.com/sites... 1/6

UPDATE: State economists have revised their projections for NC's revenue: www.osbm.nc.gov/revised-cons...

By deleting a few imp words from the E&C bill, the reconciliation bill the Hse Rules cmte is likely to advance creates an unconscionable decision for states: end health coverage for lawfully residing immigrant kids & pregnant adults or face steep federal Medicaid funding cuts.

@ncgovernor.bsky.social's proposal to target tax cuts to working families who earn wages too low to keep up with rising costs is an important step forward in NC! We must recognize that our community's well-being will move our economy forward, not more tax cuts for the wealthy few. #ncpol #ncga

NC won't have what we need to make people's lives better and build up our communities now and for the future if state lawmakers don't pause income tax cuts scheduled for profitable corps & the very wealthiest. #ncga #ncpol ncbudget.org/statement-on...

Stopping more tax cuts for profitable corporations and the richest NCians has to be part of a serious, equitable rebuilding plan for NC. Sign our petition if you agree >> ncbudget.org/choosecommunities

Thank you, Gov. Cooper, for your veto of Senate Bill 382 — a proposal that fails to advance the rebuilding of Western NC, limits future response to disasters, and disrupts the function of state government. #ncpol #ncga #ncgov

Statement on HB10 veto override from NC Budget & Tax Center Executive Director Alexandra Sirota. ncbudget.org/statement-on...

NC legislators passed a budget this week. My statement on why this budget fails to address our most pressing need for a collective commitment to the well-being of all people not just the wealthy few. ncbudget.org/news/stateme...
