NCAE needs you to call the NC House all day Monday at and ask both your Senator and House member to vote NO on the budget. Start the calls at 9 am and call multiple times and spread the word to your colleagues to do the same. NCAE reminds you to be respectful and professional. Also remember that this was a back room deal between the General Assembly leaders and many Republican legislators are dismayed by this turn of events, especially in the NC House where a bipartisan tenure reform bill passed with only one dissenting vote. Talking Points: Remind your legislators that the Senate tenure plan has never gotten a floor debate in either chamber. The Senate tenure plan has never been vetted in a House committee. Vouchers have never been vetted by a Senate committee. This is not only bad policy, it's bad process.
Here are the budget documents if you care to review. NCAE is working on an analysis and will have another DPB in the afternoon.
