TO THE EDITOR:
The N.C. General Assembly has been criticized for stifling open and fair debate on the state budget preventing nearly all proposed amendments from discussion.
Such a process is anti-democratic and it has led to an unprecedented ballooning of government spending and $7.4 billion in new taxes in the last seven years.
As a N.C. senator Robert Pittenger has worked to create ways in which our government can increase its efficiency and save over $2 billion a year. As lieutenant governor he will work to see these proposals implemented so that we can get more from our taxes.
