💨 Abstract

The article discusses North Carolina Governor Josh Stein's actions on state budget and legislation. Stein signed a stopgap spending measure due to a budget impasse but vetoed a bill directing state participation in a federal tax credit program for school choice. He criticized the spending plan for not providing sufficient pay raises or Medicaid funding. The vetoed tax credit program aimed to boost private school scholarships, which Stein and Democrats argued diverts funds from public schools. Stein suggested joining the program later if federal guidance is provided.
