It will be the second piece of major economic legislation the body has proposed in less than a week. Morning Edition Host Marshall Terry and WFAE's Tom Bullock discuss what we can expect in the budget and how Governor Pat McCrory is reacting to proposed changes in how sales tax is distributed in the state.

Tom Bullock decided to trade the khaki clad masses and traffic of Washington DC for Charlotte in 2014. Before joining WFAE, Tom spent 15 years working for NPR. Over that time he served as everything from an intern to senior producer of NPR’s Election Unit. Tom also spent five years as the senior producer of NPR’s Foreign Desk where he produced and reported from Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Haiti, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon among others. Tom is looking forward to finally convincing his young daughter, Charlotte, that her new hometown was not, in fact, named after her.
