  • The appropriations ensure government agencies can continue operating and serving North Carolina residents without interruption during the fiscal year.
  • Opponents may argue about the size of overall spending, priorities within the budget, or whether specific agencies receive too much or too little funding.
  • Some may question whether all appropriated money is spent efficiently or whether certain programs deserve more or less resources than allocated.
