North Carolina Republicans have again failed our families. Since their budget plan passed two months ago, more and more of our citizens have been put out of work. They have already directly eliminated nearly 20,000 public sector jobs, many if not most of them in education, and left our children without the resources they need to build a stronger economic future. Instead of fighting to keep more children out of pre-school and laying off educators, it is time for the Republican leaders to come up with a real plan for recovery.
